Jenny Christopherson
Jenny graduated from the Veterinary School at Sydney University in 1995. She spent 2 years working in farm practice in her hometown of Berridale in the beautiful Australian Alps, before deciding to travel to the UK and concentrate on building her skills as a small animal veterinarian.
Oddly, she does not seem to mind the weather in the UK and her decision to stay here was both professional and personal. She has married her English ‘knight in shining armour’ and they decided to make their home in East Grinstead. In doing so she fulfilled her dream to build a caring family veterinary practice to the high standards to which she believes all pets deserve.
Jenny has worked in several practices in the UK on her way to opening her own practice, including several referral centres of excellence where she gained valuable experience.
Jenny has always been very patient and caring with her clients and especially takes time to help explain diagnoses, treatments and tests to owners. She believes that clients must be well informed to allow them to make the best decisions regarding their pets health.
In recent years, with such a good team in place at Portland Vets, Jenny has reduced her working hours to be able to spend more time with her 2 daughters and their 3 legged one-eyed cat Trevor. She still finds time to be an avid sports fan (cricket at the Oval or a daughter’s netball match) and getting involved with school fund raising.
