Deborah graduated from Melbourne Uni vet school in 1994. She worked around Melbourne for a while then headed off overseas, eventually owning her own practice in Hong Kong.

Returning to Melbourne with a family in tow, Deborah started working at the Southern Animal Emergency Centre (where she met Raquel). Enjoying the pace of emergency work, Deborah ended up working at the Lort Smith Animal Hospital.

In 2017, Deborah, Raquel and Craig teamed up and bought Elwood and Albert Park Vets and has worked tirelessly to create great local practices that are all about providing high quality, affordable care.
