Like many young girls, Karmen’s dream was to become a veterinarian. This dream came true in 2016 when she graduated from the University of Sydney and took her first role in a busy hospital on the Central Coast. Karmen then returned to Sydney after two years and found her feet in Double Bay where she developed a love for surgery. This love blossomed into a passion which saw Karmen pursue further studies in Small Animal Surgery and in 2022 passed her exams to become a Member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.

Karmen’s main veterinary interests include orthopaedic surgery, anaesthesia and ultrasound. Outside of the hospital Karmen plays mum to two greyhounds, Millie and Diesel, and a thoroughbred horse, Magic.
