Michelle was born in Canada but grew up in Hong Kong and has had an interest in animals for as long as she can remember. Growing up, she regularly volunteered at veterinary clinics to indulge her love of animals as she had no pets of her own.
After graduating from the University of Sydney in 2013, she worked in a small animal practice in Mascot before joining us here at Earlwood Animal Hospital and has been with us since – even after her maternity leave with her newest addition to her family.
Michelle strongly believes in pet adoption and spends most of her free time teaching her adopted cats new tricks. She currently has two cats, Barley and Pebbles.

Emma is a local to the Earlwood area and graduated from the University of Sydney in 2025. During her studies, she completed her placements at Earlwood Animal Hospital, where she immediately felt at home and was proud to return as part of the well-established veterinary team. Emma has a strong interest in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery and is always picking up new skills to ensure each pet receives the best care.
She is passionate about greyhound rescue, sharing her life with three beloved dogs: Boof the Greyhound, Cookie the Maltese Poodle, and Nile the Jack Russell Terrier X, and hopes to welcome more long-legged friends into a greyhound retirement home the future.
Outside of work, Emma enjoys baking sugary cakes and tarts, as well as tending to her garden and indoor plants on her days off.
