Dr Lily Fermer
Veterinarian (PhD, MPhil, Grad Dip Ed, B Litt (Hons), BVSc)
Lily graduated from the University of Queensland in the early 1990s and moved to Melbourne soon after, where she has spent many years working in private practice and at the Lort Smith Animal Hospital. Lily worked with the lovely Yvette shortly before they both made the treechance to Castlemaine.
Lily is returning to veterinary practice after a few years' absence. She has been dedicating her time to parenting her two sons and finishing a PhD in Creative Writing. Some of you may recognise Lily from her time as an English teacher at Castlemaine secondary College!
Yvette has finally convinced Lily to work in town and she is really enjoying it!
