Yvette, also known as Evie, is a local Tablelands girl. She graduated from James Cook University in Townsville in 2016. She has been a member of the team at Tableland Veterinary Service since graduation, working for the first two years at our Charters Towers clinic as a mixed practice veterinarian.

Between working in our Atherton and Edmonton clinics she has maintained a keen interest in small animal surgery and medicine, but it is not odd to find her out of the clinic attending horses.

Away from work Evie enjoys spending time with her fiancé, dogs, cat, bird, chooks and being outside in the garden.
