Brooke may look small, but she’s one of the strongest players on our team. A JCU Townsville graduate, she has been working as a veterinarian for 6 years (after 5 years of uni) and is about as local as it gets, having grown up in Babinda.
Her passion for animals started early, raising pet goats as a kid, and today she finds the most satisfaction in the small wins – like a patient finally eating after days of not feeling well. Those moments matter a lot to Dr Brooke!
Brooke has a special interest in radiography and radiology, particularly hips, knees, and elbows (which she insists are pretty cool). She’s thorough, practical, and quietly determined when it comes to patient care.
At home, Brooke lives with her partner Simon and her two rescue doggos, Grace and Poppy, who weren’t quite cut out for farm life. Outside of work, she enjoys crocheting baby blankets, exercising with friends, fishing, camping, and unwinding with trash TV in the aircon alongside the dogs. Powered by chips and a latte, Brooke would be a dolphin if she were an animal – free, curious, and always on the move.
