After graduating from Murdoch University in 2007, Jo worked as an associate veterinarian in a small animal clinic in Perth for a number of years before moving to the UK. There she worked as a locum veterinarian throughout London and the English countryside. Highlights of her years spent locuming in the UK included working in a large referral orthopaedic clinic, and being the "Vet on Set" for various advertising campaigns featuring animal actors. In 2016 Jo became part owner and the principal veterinarian of Shelley Veterinary Clinic.

Although originally from the country, Jo enjoys the lifestyle Perth has to offer, especially when spent with her two young daughters and husband.
Contact JoSusie grew up surrounded by animals and knew from a very young age that she wanted to be a vet. After graduating from Murdoch University she spent her first couple of years in practice working in Bunbury and enjoying the fantastic lifestyle that the South West has to offer. Following this, she then headed off overseas with her husband (who is also a vet) and had an amazing adventure volunteering in Cambodia, working as a locum vet throughout England, and travelling through Europe. Upon returning home she has since worked in several clinics throughout the Perth metropolitan area, before joining the team at Shelley Veterinary Clinic.
Susie enjoys all aspects of being a vet, but particularly loves the problem solving involved in complex medical cases, and spending time chatting to clients about their beloved four-legged family members. Outside of work, she is kept busy running after her little boy Charlie and Emmett the Border Collie, and can usually be found down at the river enjoying the beautiful Shelley foreshore.

Contact TeeganSheriden has been passionate about animals from a young age, growing up with Rottweilers. She moved from the East Coast to pursue her career as a Veterinary Nurse, and graduated in 2022. She has an especially large soft spot for big friendly doggos and now in contrast, lives with cats! This has further developed her love for cats and all small creatures.
Sheriden initially came to Shelley Vets as an under graduate nursing student to complete her required hours for the course. After the team quickly realised how much of a gift she has with animals, they didn't want to let her go, and so upon graduation Sheriden has become a permanent member of the team!
She loves the outdoors, so in her spare time you'll find her camping & fishing with friends.
