Q: Why did you choose to become a veterinarian?
When I was little, some kids wanted to be astronauts, others police officers - for me, it was always a veterinarian. I feel incredibly lucky to have landed my childhood dream - it’s absolutely everything I had ever hoped for. I adore pets, and just don’t think I’ll ever find myself doing anything other than this.

Q: Do you have any pets at home?
Pepito. Roan Spoodle. Unhinged, bananas, owns my heart.
Stimpson. Cavoodle. Desperately affectionate.
MacNeal. Cavoodle. Dreams of growing up into a Rottweiler one day.
Teddy. Schnoodle. 10/10 Good boy.
Cookie. Devon Rex. Not afraid to bully anyone into sharing their body warmth.
Schnitzel. Devon Rex. Fulltime foot cosey.

Q: What are your interest areas when it comes to veterinary medicine?
I am crazy about teeth - dental care, surgery, saving teeth, extracting teeth. I am fascinated by it all. I’m also really excited about dermatology, my own pets suffer with allergies so I get it - I love seeing the transformations. I also very much enjoy treating patients with complex diseases - I love scratching through the clues to find the answers for pet families who are often very distressed.

Q: What is something interesting that we may not know about you?
At minimum, at the very least once per week, you’ll catch me watching Jaws, and Jurassic Park. I can’t help myself, I love blockbuster monster horror. The Fly, The Thing, Alien, Predator - they suck me in every time!

Jess Mattsson

Q: Why did you choose to become a veterinary nurse?
I have always wanted to work in the animal industry, for as long as I can remember. I completed a bachelor’s degree at university and started my nursing once I graduated. A year later - I haven’t looked back. It is a crazy environment sometimes, especially in emergency, but there is always something beautiful.

Q: Do you have any pets at home?
I have a blue fawn whippet named Ruby. She is a maniac and definitely has a tonne of sass, but I wouldn’t change her for the world! Her favourite activity is driving her mum crazy, and then begging for forgiveness with a snuggle in bed. Works every time.

Q: What are your interest areas when it comes to working with animals?
I love it all, there are so many avenues to explore in this career - the diversity is what makes this field so enticing for me.

Q: What is something interesting that we may not know about you?
I am a not-so-secret Harry Potter nerd, and I have no shame in that! I am a big fantasy person and have a little obsession of collecting books, most of which I have read, and some still calling my name.

I’ve always known that I want to work with animals. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Veterinary and Animal Bioscience from La Trobe university, and have high hopes to become a qualified veterinarian.

Q: Do you have any pets at home?
I have two cats living with me in Melbourne. Rosie, a black and white domestic shorthair, is very stubborn but still thinks she’s a kitten. Whilst Groucho, also black and white, loves a good snuggle.

Q: What are your interest areas when it comes to working with animals?
I love it more and more every day, and am focusing on applying for veterinary school.
