Bruna Z

Veterinary Nurse

Bruna began her veterinary career in Brazil, where she graduated in 2023. Her passion for animals started early in childhood, spending time on her family’s farm surrounded by all kinds of creatures. She was always the one caring for any injured or quiet animal she found, and her first rescue – a little chick with a broken leg – marked the beginning of her journey in animal care. That experience inspired her to study veterinary medicine so she could help save more lives and make a difference.

Bruna is deeply passionate about animal welfare and finds great joy in being part of a team that brings comfort and healing to those who can’t express themselves with words. Moving to Australia has been an incredible opportunity to expand her knowledge and skills, while reaffirming that no matter where she is, her love and dedication to animals always follow her.

Back in Brazil, Bruna has two dogs and five cats – all rescues who live happily together. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time in nature and appreciating the animals that make it so special.

Her compassionate approach and commitment to ethical care reflect her values both personally and professionally.

Dr Krista G

Veterinarian

Dr Krista graduated from Flinders University in 2010 with an Extended Major in Biological Sciences, minoring in Zoology. From there, it was certain that she had to further develop her skills in veterinary medicine and went on to complete both Veterinary Bioscience and Doctors of Veterinary Medicine Degrees at the University of Adelaide, graduating in 2016.

Throughout veterinary school and 2 years post-graduation, she worked in a small animal practice in Adelaide before starting at Findon and Seaton Vet.

She has a keen interest in developing her feline medicine and hopes to gain membership to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.

Her fur family consists of a beautiful 57kg Bernese Mountain Dog Aurora, a ratbag of a Beaglier named Apollo, and her curious rescue kitty Milo.

Her husband Chris and Dr Krista are parents to two lovely girls and recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world.

Dr Sharna

Veterinarian

Dr Sharna graduated from The University of Adelaide in 2018. She started her veterinary journey with the Animal Welfare League, and has been working with us since 2020. Dr Sharna grew up taking her pets to see Dr Ian at the Findon Vet Surgery, which inspired her decision in becoming a veterinarian. Now, she has an interest in surgery, and is a sucker for giving in to your pets’ puppy dog eyes and giving too many treats!

When she’s not working, Dr Sharna can be found spending quality time with her fiancé, Stefan, and annoying their two cats – Slinky and Sassy! She also enjoys a bad pun, learning new recipes, and going for scenic walks.

Dr Molly O

Veterinarian

Dr Molly Oshiro joined our clinic in 2022 after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 2021. Originally from Japan, she spent nine years in China before moving to Australia for veterinary school. Fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and English, she invites clients to schedule consultations in either Mandarin or Japanese, if clients prefer to do so.

Molly has a special interest in small animal dentistry and has pursued additional training to deliver the highest standard of dental care for cats and dogs. She firmly believes that caring for pet owners is just as important as caring for their pets. By building strong relationships with clients, she ensures that each pet receives personalised care tailored to their needs and circumstances.

Outside of work, she enjoys hosting picnics where she can connect with friends and family. As well as brewing various types of tea, taking the time to explore different flavours and traditions.

Lisa C

Head Veterinary Nurse

Hi my name is lovely Lisa,

I have been nursing since 1997 and am the current Nurse Manager at Findon. I have been blessed to have been able to combine my two loves – teaching and vet nursing for most of my career, you can’t beat working with children and animals! I have a special interest in Palliative care and hospital care nursing. Advocating for the patient above everything is my priority.

I have 3 dogs, 3 cats, a snake, a turtle, 4 parrots and an aviary of rescue birds – all different types.

As I age I hope to begin more wildlife and end of life care.

Jenny S

Senior Veterinary Nurse

I had a love and passion for animals from a very young age which stemmed from my uncle having a farm and me spending all my school holidays there. My love for animals grew and once I finished year 12, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I became a Veterinary Nurse and have been doing this for years.

I have been working here at the Findon Vet Surgery for 28 years and work part time. I love my job and enjoy all aspects of being a Nurse, caring and helping animals and their owners.

Jess S

Veterinary Nurse

As a dedicated veterinary nurse with over 5 years of hands-on experience, I’m passionate about providing exceptional care to animals and supporting their families through every stage of their healthcare journey. Having worked in a variety of settings, from general practice to emergency care, I am skilled in a range of veterinary nursing procedures, including patient monitoring, anesthesia, diagnostics, and client education.

In addition to my professional role, I’m a proud mother of four children and a fur-parent to two dogs, two cats, and a budgie.

Tiarna

Veterinary Nurse

My name is Tiarna a.k.a ‘The Crazy Cat Lady’. I grew up in a house full of animals and developed a love and passion for them from an early age. Part of my childhood was spent helping my grandpa run his pet shop, which taught me that my love of animals could someday become a career.

After high school, I volunteered at the Animal Welfare League for a year. It was there that I realised cat handling was a skill that came quite naturally to me. I then went on to study my certificate 3 in Animal Care at Tafesa, during which I realised I wanted my career to head towards a path in the veterinary industry and applied to study a certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing straight after.

I completed my placement at the Seaton Vet Clinic and soon after, I became a member of the team. I have been working at the Seaton and Findon Vet Clinics for almost 2 years and have loved helping our clients and their pets through their surgery, health, and wellness journeys and I look forward to seeing where this path takes me.
