Katja Zdovc
Veterinary Nurse
Katja was born and grew up in Slovenia. As a daughter of two veterinarians, she was always surrounded by animals so nobody was surprised when she decided to follow in the footseps of her parents. She graduated from the University of Ljubljana in 2016. This was also the year when she first came to Australia and she has been coming back ever since, until she decided to move here in 2020.
Katja loves her job and enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing. In her free time, she likes spending time with her dog Kobe, writes animal related articles for a local newspaper, and also enjoys volunteering and trying to find different ways of helping animals in need.
