Isabelle graduated from the University of Sydney in 1991 and has worked in small animal practice since then. She completed a Master of Veterinary Studies through Murdoch University in 2001 and passed Membership examinations in Small Animal Medicine in the same year. She developed an interest in veterinary behaviour due, in part, to the behaviour problems of her own dog. She has completed the Distance Education in Veterinary behaviour and passed membership examinations in Veterinary Behaviour in 2016. She has been an examiner for the ANZCVS for the last 3 years and is an active AVBIG committee member. She is passionate about filling the behavioural void in general practice and helping our pets have a better quality of life – not just physically but also mentally.
