Jerica Thornton

Jerica is originally from Canada, and graduated from Western University with a degree in criminology. After moving to Australia she found her interests lay elsewhere, and pursued a career working with animals as a veterinary nurse.

She has two mischeveous Italian greyhounds at home who she loves (and spoils) dearly. Back in Canada, Jerica has a border collie cross blue heeler, who is enjoying retirement with her parents. Jerica and her siblings were always animal lovers, and she grew up with a wide variety of smaller pets, including rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, a range of fish and amphibians

She has been working with Greencross for the last 5 years and has completed her certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.

Dr Kathryn Owen

I graduated from The University of Queensland with a Batchelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) at the end of 2018 and was soon to accept my first graduate veterinarian position with Greencross. I am lucky enough to work between both the Varsity Lakes and Burleigh Waters clinics with two amazing teams of vets, vet nurses and reception staff. Currently, I am loving getting to know all the clients and their lovely pets and am passionate about helping them get better so they can return home to their families. I have always had an interest in small animal medicine but also love the challenge of emergency medicine. When not at work, I enjoy socialising with friends, heading to the beach to catch the morning sunrise and playing touch rugby league.

Dr Tracy Ling

Tracy completed Bachelor of Veterinary Science with honours from the University of Queensland in 2015. She has a strong passion in small animal soft tissue surgery and dermatology. She enjoys cuddling or getting cuddles from any sorts of animals and hearing about their cheeky stories from their owners. Outside of work, Tracy enjoys spending time with her family and friends, hiking and biking. She is looking forward to get her own cat and dog once she gets her own place!
