Steph was raised in the farming community of York, Western Australia. She graduated from Veterinary Medicine and Surgery at Murdoch University in 2009 and moved to Esperance in 2011 to start work at Swans Veterinary Services.

Steph enjoys all aspects of the Veterinary profession but takes a special interest in small animal internal medicine. Together, Steph and Rob have a keen interest in the Thoroughbred racing industry, in particular breeding. In 2016 they started breeding and raising home grown thoroughbred foals and are finally now at the stage of watching some of their babies make it to the track.

The rest of Steph's time is filled with the pleasures of family life and raising small human beings.
