Hillary was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada where she lived for most of her life. After graduating from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2005 she practiced at a small animal clinic for five years, all the while making holiday trips to the UK and Europe. It was these trips that planted the seed of a more permanent relocation to this side of the Northern Hemisphere, and in July of 2010 Hillary packed her bags and moved to London. She began working with the Animal Medical Centre November 2010 and hasn't looked back, spending her free time exploring both London the UK and the areas of Europe she hasn't yet been to (and returning to the places she enjoyed!). Hillary has a love for musical theatre and movies, even writing reviews periodically for an online movie website. Back in Canada she leaves behind her 17 year old, hyperthyroid cat Patches and a 6 year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever named Sky.
