Lisa’s love of animals and interest in small animal medicine found herself in becoming a Veterinary Nurse. She has a particularly soft spot for her feline friends and has fostered many kittens and cats for rescue organisations.

Isabella Mackintosh
Veterinary Nurse
Bella has grown up with animals her whole life from cats and dogs, to rabbits and guinea pigs, chickens and recently a few reptiles. At the moment she has a domestic short haired cat called Nutmeg, a German Shepherd called Max, a Bearded Dragon called Acorn, a Pygmy Bearded Dragon called Yoshi and a Thick Tailed Gecko called Nyv.
Bella has completed her Cert II in Animal Studies, and is now completing her Cert III in Animals Studies Multi Species course and next year she is hopefully going to start her Cert IV in Vet Nursing.
In her spare time, Bella is either out of the house taking Max on walking trails or chilling with her animals at home.
Diana Gent
Veterinary Nurse
Diana completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2022.
Diana is very passionate about all aspects of her job and patient care but is particularly interested in anaesthesia and dermatology.
For Diana, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a furry patient going home with their families, feeling a million times better than when they first arrived at the vet.
Further education is also very important to her as she continues to learn and expand on her nursing knowledge to ensure that she is giving the best care to the patients at Beecroft.
When she's not working, you'll find her hanging out with her cat - Quilt (former Beecroft Vet adoption kitten), reading, baking, and trying out new cafes and restaurants in Sydney.
Olivia Tanna
Veterinary Nurse
Olivia attained her Certificate IV in Vet Nursing in July 2022 and has been a part of the Beecroft team since her first day of work placement for her Certificate II in Animal Studies in October 2019!
She has always been around animals and owned pets of all shapes and sizes, from rabbits to a horse. Olivia's favourite aspect of nursing is forming bonds with sick patients while aiding them back to health.
​
Olivia enjoys doing anything outdoors in her spare time, from swimming and other water-related activities to horse riding with her coworker(s) Dominique and Marissa. She also enjoys the company of her spoilt and therefore slightly temperamental golden retriever Max!

After witnessing firsthand, the significant negative impact of the lack of veterinary services in our rural communities during her volunteer work in the Capertee Valley, NSW, Evette’s love for livestock and dedication to the betterment of their health and welfare drives her pursuit of a career in veterinary medicine, specialising in large animals.
