Dr Marijke’s lifelong bond with animals began during her formative years, where her home was a lively menagerie of dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs. This early and deep-rooted affection for creatures of all kinds propelled her to embark on a journey in veterinary medicine. In 2013, she graduated from Charles Sturt University.
Dr Marijke’s first job as a vet was in a small animal and exotic clinic in Adelaide, and it was then that she realised that unusual pets are the best part of veterinary medicine and has worked at exotic-only veterinary clinics.
Dr Shiow Jing Khuu, prefers to be called Jing. She was born and raised in Adelaide in a busy household of dogs, chickens and plenty of fish, making her an animal lover by default.
Dr Jing graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2018 with a Bachelor’s degree in veterinary Bioscience and a Master’s degree in Veterinary Medicine. Dr Jing initially started in a general practice rotating internship with a company with multiple branch clinics, experiencing all aspects of general practice. From here, she expressed her interest in working with Avian and Unusual pets. She has had a strong interest in working with Avian and Unusual species since Veterinary school. However, only after working in general practice was Dr Jing assured that this is the niche and direction she would like to progress in her career.
