BSc, BVMS (Murdoch), Low Stress Handling (TM) Certified, Veterinarian
Dr Tiffany Jacobs is a female Veterinarian.
My name is Tiffany and I am the other owner of Roleystone Animal Hospital. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the US and have lived in Australia since 1999. One of my earliest memories was telling my mother I wanted to be a vet when I was 4yrs old (the same age as Dr Yoko!). Growing up I had a passion for animals, the natural world and science, so there was never any doubt I was going to be a vet.
It was through a variety of volunteer work from a very young age that I discovered my interest in helping both people and animals, as well as teaching new ideas and concepts to others, and have worked with wildlife since I was 15. After being awarded a number of scholarships in high school for both academics and volunteer work, I began university in the States where I was one of a handful of students selected to participate in an accelerated Honours Pre-Veterinary program and then graduated from Murdoch University in 2004, with Dr Yoko.
I have been privileged to assist with the teaching of Murdoch University veterinary students in wildlife medicine since 2009, in conjunction with Perth Zoo and Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre (where I was a volunteer as a vet student back in 1999), and I have been the vet for Caversham Wildlife Park since 2012. I have previously assisted Native Animal Rescue for 8 years in their care of injured and orphaned wildlife, along with a number of other wildlife rehabilitation centres. I am planning to sit my membership exams in Medicine of Australasian Wildlife - when I can find the time!
