Dr. Shirley Lee graduated from the University of Queensland with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) in 2016.

She worked as a GP vet in multiple branches of a small animal clinic for five years in Toowoomba, Australia. During her GP practice, she understood how traumatizing and difficult it can be for both animals and owners when an accident or emergency occurs. Therefore, she developed an increased interest in small animal emergency and critical care in order to provide the best care and hope for everyone.

She studied and completed the Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Emergency and Critical Care from the University of Melbourne in 2019. In early 2022, she migrated back to Hong Kong and, by chance, started working as a full-time emergency veterinarian in one of the busiest specialist hospitals in Hong Kong. Since May 2023, she has also gained certification in Basic and Advanced Life Support through the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. Dr. Shirley is excited to join HVSEH, working with other specialists, vets, and nurses to help and save more lives.
