Our Staff

University of Pretoria, South Africa, 2006

Anna joined our clinic as a practice partner in July 2018. Anna was born in Poland and was raised and educated in Pretoria (South Africa). She graduated in 2006 and relocated to Melbourne where she practiced in a number of small animal clinics (including ours) and specialist hospitals prior to pursuing an internship in small animal internal medicine and emergency & critical care at the Pet Emergency & Specialist Centre in Melbourne. She has worked extensively in small animal practice in both Southern Africa as well as Australia. She successfully completed her NAVLE and ECFVG Certification via the American Veterinary Medical Association after moving to Virginia, USA, in 2011 and practiced in North America for a few years before relocating back to Melbourne. In addition to enjoying all aspects of veterinary practice, Anna has a special interest in small animal internal medicine, diagnostic imaging, and emergency & critical care medicine.

Melbourne University, 2010

En joined our veterinary team back in 2013 and has never looked back. She enjoys working in all aspects of veterinary medicine and has a particular interest in general surgery and ultrasonography. When not at work, En spends most of her spare time with her young family.

Melbourne University, 2008

Roshni, like a few of our vets, did work placement with us during her studies and joined our team promptly after graduating.

The combination of medicine and surgery, along with her love of animals, is what prompted Roshni to become a veterinarian.

In her spare time, Roshni enjoys spending time with her young family.

Ross University USA, 2008

Erin joined our team in October 2013 after working at a small animal practice in Melton for several years. Originally from the United States, Erin graduated from Ross University in 2008, completing her clinical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Erin enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine which is what drew her to general practice where she can see many different cases day to day. Her main interests are in medicine, surgery, ophthalmology, dermatology, and diagnostic imaging. Erin’s house is a busy one with a large furry family of 4 cats and 2 dogs as well as her growing family. Much like her human family, her furry family is also blended as two of her cats (Crashes and Anarchy) travelled with her from America and her other three pets are Aussie (Flash, Frankie and Friday – pictured). Erin also enjoys travelling, getting outside with her family, barracking at the footy (Go Bulldogs!), DIY home improvement, and a good BBQ

Veterinary Nurse

Merissa became a veterinary nurse in 2005, and has since had experience in multiple veterinary clinics as well as the pet food industry. She joined our team in October 2014. She has been an animal lover since birth, attending dog obedience trials with her parents and the family German Shepherd and Irish Setters before she could walk, and was cat-obsessed throughout her childhood. Having bred numerous litters of Burmese cats and Australian Bulldogs and fostering countless puppies and kittens, it’s natural that her passion includes neonatal care and nutrition. She enjoys regular obedience training with her dogs, including George (pictured) and hopes to progress into other activities such as tracking and herding with her German Shepherd, Hannah, who arrived to the family in June 2015.

Veterinary Nurse

My name is Rennie! I am a qualified veterinary nurse at Wyndham Veterinary Clinic.

Ever since I was a young child, I always dreamed of working in the veterinary industry. My passion for looking after animals started with nurturing baby chicks and chickens, and then a little Jack Russell called Nikki joined the family, followed by a very sick kitten called Socks who we were only supposed to have for a couple of weeks. We still have the grumpy old girl Socks.

We moved from the suburbs to country Victoria during Covid and our head count increased as we settled in our new home. We were foster fails and now have 2 dogs, a border collie named Willow and a maremma cross named Beau. We also added a couple of kittens called Luna and Angus with the addition of a goat, rooster, more chickens and now 10 baby chicks which were hatched in an incubator.

Yes our little farm feels almost complete.

Since training at Wyndham Veterinary Clinic, I have learnt so much and I am excited to see where my future goes as we see various kinds of animals with so many different conditions to treat.

She loves helping the vets and nurses by giving the pets much needed cuddles while they recover from surgery. She can’t imagine her life doing anything else!
