Petstock VET Dural

Having graduated from Sydney University, Marjorie has extensive experience working in New Zealand, the UK, as well as in Australia. During this time, she spent 5 years working as a fulltime Emergency & Critical Care veterinarian for specialist referral hospitals. That intensive training and commitment has now been brought to general practice where Marjorie has been working for the past 15 years in the Hills District.

Marjorie is committed to providing excellent standards of veterinary care and client services with a well-educated & approachable veterinary team. Her passion is for all creatures great & small, but closer to home she has to run around for her mischievous tortoiseshell cat, Li Li.

Since I was a child, my dream was to help animals. I started my wonderful fulfilling Veterinary Nursing career in 2000 at Gladesville Veterinary Hospital, where I worked as the Head Nurse/ Hospital Manager. After completing Certificate IV Vet Nursing in 2006, I have also done numerous courses in companion animal & wildlife, including reptile care.

My career has given me experience in all aspects of general nursing as well as chemotherapy, nuclear medicine, grooming, rehabilitation for injured turtles, and hand raising many kittens. In November 2020, I joined the Petstock Vet Dural team and have been enjoying meeting all the fur babies with their pet parents. It’s been a privilege to be able to look after and assist like-minded people and their pets – Pets are Family.

Carrie has worked in small animal veterinary clinics for over 10 years, starting as a veterinary nurse before graduating from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/Doctor of Veterinary medicine degree in 2019. Since then, Carrie has been working full time in general practice and enjoys the variety of cases she has exposure to. Carrie has an interest in dermatology, dentistry, and soft tissue surgery but is always keen to learn and expand her knowledge and skillset. She has a soft spot for geriatric pets, particularly as she has been a dog mum to a geriatric herself and believes that older patients often need supplementary care as they age. Outside of work Carrie likes to stay active and can be found spending time either at the gym or in a pilates studio. She is currently studying towards becoming board certified in North America.

Dr Yeumee graduated from the University of Sydney in 2008. She has completed her Masters in Veterinary Studies at Murdoch University, and her Certificate in Veterinary Acupuncture through the Chi Institute, Florida, USA. Yeumee has a holistic approach to veterinary medicine, incorporating her western and traditional Chinese medicine knowledge to provide the very best care for her patients in a safe, fear free environment. Always in search of sunshine and adventure, Yeumee has worked in Australia, the USA and Singapore before returning to her hometown of Sydney. In her spare time, she enjoys travelling, outdoor activities, and spending time with friends and family over good food and wine!

Anita has been a vet nurse for over 20 years, after starting out in small animal practice in North Ryde. She then moved to Adelaide for 2 years, and back to Sydney where she worked at a specialist referral hospital as an Emergency & Critical Care nurse. In 2018, Anita started working here at Dural part-time as she is also a busy mum to 3 school-age children. As well, she has Grug the Pug, Batman the Black Cat, mini Max the Chihuahua, as well as a home zoo with turtles, birds, fish, frogs & pet rats.

The aspect of her job that Anita really enjoys is surgical nursing and also, she finds it very satisfying to clean tartar off teeth with the ultrasonic descaler and then giving them a polish & shine. She also enjoys seeing the not-so-common pets such as guinea pigs and reptiles.

I have been working in the vet industry for over 18 years but I still love seeing the exciting life journeys of the clients with their beloved furry family members (pets, not kids!). It’s often a rollercoaster - from the highs to the lows; watching them grow, learn, love, and crying tears of happiness or loss.

I’m a busy mother to 3 school-aged children so don’t have time for a pet, although I am a cat-lover at heart. However, if I had more spare time, I’d definitely be the crazy cat lady & have a houseful of rescued feline fuzzballs. At the moment though, I’m blessed to live locally and have an abundance of native wildlife at my back doorstep

Since she was a little girl Liz knew she wanted to work with animals. She originally wanted to be a farmer, but changed her mind and became a vet nurse. She has since completed Certificate III in Animal Care and also successfully passed Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, becoming a Qualified Vet Nurse in 2025. Liz joined the Petstock Vet Dural Team in 2024 and is loving meeting all the pets! She is also loving learning everything about veterinary medicine and care. Liz hopes to one day be a large animal veterinary nurse and help a lot of people and their pets along the way. At home she has a little kitten called Rufus and a horse called Bambi. Growing up on a farm, she also has sheep, cattle, another cat and a dog called Bobby. Liz has a love old school cars, especially Holdens.

Jeevi joined the team in 2023 as one of our Saturday nurses. He has completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal and Veterinary Bioscience (Hons I) and a Masters in Conservation Biology. He has worked in the field as a farm hand, research assistant and volunteered in many animal-related placements during his time at university. Jeevi is currently studying for his Doctor of Vet Medicine degree at Sydney Uni. He decided on becoming a vet because of his love of animals and he is fascinated with learning about how the body works, whether it be in illness or perfect balance. Most importantly, he chose this career because he is passionate about providing the best health care for all pets. Jeevi has an interest in surgery and wildlife and would love to be a part of conservation efforts in his future vet career. In the meantime, he also dedicates himself to small animal clinical practice and loves seeing the bonds between owner and pet. He doesn't have any pets at the moment but is hoping to get a dog in the near future!

Katie joined the Dural vet team recently, but she is a true local and a familiar face. Her passion for animals, coupled with an empathetic nature, led her to a career in vet nursing. She has grown up surrounded by animals, leading her to delve deeply into small animal studies. Katie has majored in Zoology at university and has a degree in Agriculture as well. However, she has decided to get more hands on after her Vet Nursing certificate and employ her knowledge in practical skills as our surgical nurse. Katie shares her home paddock with 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses, a bunny and a very opinionated cockatiel.

When we welcomed Amanda to our team, she fitted in straight away as if she had always been part of our family. Amanda has already achieved a Bachelor of Science (majoring in Animal Science/Zoology) at Western Sydney Uni and completed Certificate II in Animal Care. She is currently studying Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, and she is on track to graduate in June 2026. Her interests include surgical nursing, exotic pets, and sharing her wealth of experience and knowledge with all pet parents. Her long-term goal is to further her studies and return to university to study to become a vet! Her life is ruled by two miniature lop-eared bunnies, 6-year-old Coco, and 1.5-year-old Buttercup.

I’ve grown up around animals and vet clinics and joined the team in early 2024 as a veterinary assistant. I love animals and all things outdoors and am currently studying landscape architecture at uni. My interests are helping animals any way I can within all areas of the clinic. I have two pets now, a choccy Labrador and a Burmese cat.

I have grown up owning all sorts of animals, from dogs, to birds, to reptiles. I have always wanted to work in the animal industry and started off working in the retail side, but I knew I could expand my knowledge and help more animals working on the Veterinary side. Since joining the team, I have learnt so much more about animals and their care and it brings me joy knowing that I am part of a team who loves and cares for animals as much as I do, as well as seeing the impact we have on clients and their fur-babies. I am a Fur-Mum myself to 4 dogs, Axel, Diesel, Nyla and Bindi, as well as 2 cats, Cecil and Ella. In the future I would love to expand my career to the behavioural and training aspect.
