Che received her Bachelor of Science (Zoology Specialty) from the University of Toronto, after which she spent two years working in research and education at the Royal Ontario Museum. Che then attended Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sydney in Australia for 5 years.  She returned to her roots, back to Canada and worked as a small animal and exotics medicine practitioner in Barrie and Mississauga before joining Queen West Animal Hospital.  She currently lives in Downtown Toronto with her partner and their young rambunctious Beagle, Emmy Lou.  Her professional interests include surgery, emergency medicine and geriatric medicine. When not in clinic, Che enjoys spending time with her family, cooking up new recipes and baking up a storm!

Our Take: Che is a force of nature, the kind of person with whom you’d want to face the apocalypse, assuming that’s something you’d want to do. Not only is she the first veterinarian at QWAH to ever set foot in the food storage room, she completely reorganized it early on in her tenure at our hospital! She can regularly be found aggressively cleaning the staff kitchen, sorting through leftover food in the staff fridge and ransacking closets and shelves. Her hobbies include organization, reorganization and organization. Seriously, she’s a massive asset to our hospital, so much so she was named Lead Veterinarian. We love her and are so lucky she calls our hospital home.
