Gloria graduated with honours in Veterinary Science from the University of Melbourne in 2004 and has worked across private practice and academia, including teaching at the University of Sydney. She has since returned to Melbourne’s west, where she focuses on small animal practice.

Her special interests include rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, birds, and reptiles. Gloria has completed further training in veterinary acupuncture and small animal behavioural medicine.

Outside of work, she enjoys baking elaborate cakes and caring for her lively household of pets — two dogs, two cats, four rabbits, six chickens, a guinea pig, and a quail.
