Meet The Team
Dr Zoey graduated from Onderstepoort in 2019. She completed her community service at the Good Hope SPCA where she learned a multitude of skills and where her passion to help animals only grew stronger. Zoey moved to the UK for a few years but decided to return to the sunny Cape Town in 2025 where she joined Saint Francis Veterinary Clinic. Zoey has a special interest in surgery and enjoys those especially challenging cases.
Zoey is originally from the USA and after exploring the world she decided Cape Town is home. She shares her home with a goofy black and white cat named Jack Skellington and when she isn't caring for your animals you may find her exploring the beautiful scenery Cape Town has to offer or sitting in her garden reading a good book.
