A bloody good scone cook, a sewing enthusiast, mum-Mum-MUM (they never say it once, right?), librarian, lousy gardener and even worse mechanic! I tend to wear a lot of hats, but my heart and soul belongs to Veterinary Science.
I am a bush kid at heart who grew up surrounded by any animal you can think of. “Flick” will always be my favourite, the lamb who rode the motorbike, who I tried valiantly to teach to sit, who loved to push me over as a 40kg wether to eat the stash of treats I had in my pocket, and the reason I have a passion for sheep.
I was the kid who always asked questions, and wanted to learn everything - handy, when you want to be a vet - I graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2011 (showing my age a little). Since then I have been in busy mixed clinics all over QLD; some large, small, private, corporate, and even a stint in a major teaching hospital (UQ Vets) as an Emergency & Critical Care veterinarian.
But I have always been drawn home to the bush. Mum & Dad reside on a cattle, sheep & goat property east of Richmond, but alas I fell in love with Longreach on a holiday a few years back. It felt like coming home; intriguing since finding out that my Dad's parents actually owned the old dairy at Cramsie Park once upon a time.
I truly love animals and agriculture, and I’m passionate about improving our veterinary industry, one local vet owned practice at a time.
Vet Assistant, Admin Guru and Dog Groomer!
Hey I’m Mackenzie, but you can call me Mack, I am Cassie’s LEFT-hand woman! Outside of work I am a garden enthusiast, a "hobby hopper", mum to a very energetic 2-year-old and crazy cat lady to Chucky, Clover and Cosmo!
I care deeply for all animals great and small, with a soft spot for "pocket pets" like guinea pigs, rabbits, mice and rats. It’s an honour to be part of the Meliora team and witness Dr. Cassie positively change the quality of life for many of her patients and owners.
Next time you call Meliora don’t be alarmed to hear me answer the phone! I may not know all the answers, but I promise I’ll do my best to help you with your enquiries.
Can’t wait to hear from you! 🐾❤️
Love, Mack & Chucky
