Meet Our Team

Becoming the practice owner in 2019, Tash is committed to continuing and enhancing the quality of Terrey Hills Animal Hospital can offer to its clients and patients by investing in new equipment, ongoing staff training and engaging with clients about the service provided by the clinic. Tash is driven by educating pet owners to help them make the best decision for them and their pet. Her philosophy is that veterinary practices are an important part of the community and not only provide service for the wellbeing of pets, but also help to support the mental health and livelihoods of the people living in that community. 

Tash has completed numerous continuing education courses including those in thoracic and abdominal imaging, equine lameness, ultrasound, small animal dentistry, intestinal surgery and is currently part of the Accelerate Practice Academy program. 

Tash has a love for theatre and playwriting and is frequently accompanied to work by her beautiful boy ‘Wilbur’ the Whippet! He has been given the clinic role of HR Management and makes sure all the staff are in top form to give him treats! 

Prior to becoming a vet, Lily worked for many years as a veterinary nurse and has a background in horse riding. Lily enjoys all aspects of general practice, surgery and equine medicine and is committed to providing a high quality of care to her patients. When not at work, Lily can often be seen walking her two Labradors, Bear and Charlie.

This interest comes as she is the granddaughter of a herpetologist and grew up around many strange and quirky creatures. After receiving a scholarship with the ‘Unusual Pet and Avian Veterinarians’ 2022, this interest has grown into a passion for exotic animal husbandry, medicine, and surgery. Katie is a member of a research ethics committee through DPI Forest Science and is also regularly involved in wildlife rehabilitation. Aside from wildlife and exotic pets, Katie also has a keen interest in small animal surgery, equine and small animal emergency medicine, and the care of senior pets. 

As the owner of an anxious rescue pup and a vet-reactive cat you will often see Katie have a calming conversation with your pet to ease their suspicions of being in the consult room.  When not at work, you might see Katie on the ice coaching figure skating or on a bush walk with friends. The rest of her time is spent between her dog ‘Albie’, ragdoll ‘Frankie’, Green Tree Frogs ‘Gus’, ‘Willow’, and ‘Ned’, or her Smooth Knob tailed Gecko ‘Fred’. 

Michaela has spent all her life with a different range of animals including chickens, ducks, rabbits and Guinea pigs. When she got her first dog that really made her know that she wanted to work with animals. Michaela currently has her dogs Ellie and Lulu, and her cat Benjamin. Michaela is a hard working and dedicated nurse that always wants the best care for animals of all kinds. Her current interests are animal anaesthesia. Outside of work she loves hanging out with friends and family, travel and playing with her dog Ellie.

Sharon has had pets all her life and understands they are a part of the family and enrich the lives of other family members.  She currently enjoys the company of her two Burmese cats, Milo and Luna.  Sharon is committed to furthering her education in veterinary nursing and regularly attends workshops and webinars.  She has recently completed workshops in the areas of anaesthesia, CPR and wildlife care.  In her spare time, Sharon can be found enjoying long walks; watching the latest sci-fi or superhero movie; and spending quality time with family and friends.

Michaela starting her vet nursing journey in 2017 where she completed a certificate III in horse care. She has  continued to grow her education by completing a certificate IV in Veterinary nursing and even travelling to Heron Island to complete a turtle tracking course. Michaela is a compassionate and highly driven vet nurse and has a keen interest for animal dentistry. During her spare time she loves to read, ride her horses and hangout with friends. 

Britt has a female ginger cat named Bobbi who loves running around the house wreaking havoc and long naps in the sun.

In addition to Uni, Linda is always looking to further her education by completing online courses and attending webinars to deliver a gold standard of care to our exotic patients alongside our experienced vets.

At home, Linda has 2 Japanese spitz’s Arya and Sami and a grand chinchilla rabbit named Jupiter as well as 5 Australian tarantulas named Carl, Brad, Toast, Bagel and Boo.
All of Linda’s pets are welcoming of wildlife that comes home with her after a shift – they don’t mind sharing their space for a critter in need.

In her spare time, Linda has been a volunteer Firefighter with the local Ingleside Rural Fire Brigade since 2018 where she met her partner, Ross. Volunteering for the RFS gives her a great sense of community involvement which is reflected by Linda always stopping and saying hello to a familiar face in the clinic or at the shops for lunch.
When not on the fireground, you’ll find Linda at the local beach with a book, a self-proclaimed nerd she also spends much of her time gaming. In winter you’ll find her on the slopes with her snowboard. Come say g’day!

Alana has completed ongoing training in anaesthetics, nurse consultation, exotics emergency care and nursing and is currently completing a course in animal nutrition. 

At home, Alana has a rescue Kelpie x Border Collie x Cattle dog called Bo and a Somali cat called Zigi. 

Linda is an animal lover who has two energetic German Shorthaired Pointers, Elsie and Billie who bring happiness to the whole family and keep everyone active and outdoors.
The ideal weekend for Linda consists of dog walking, camping, horse riding and drinking coffee with family and friends. She loves multi-day hikes and hopes to check the Komona Koda trail in Japan off her list next year!
