Executive Committee
President
Daniella Maskell
---------------------------
Hey guys! I’m Daniella and I will be your President for 2024! For those that don’t know me, I grew up in Singapore before doing a short stint up in Townsville, QLD, and then moved to Perth which has been home ever since! After being VP for two years, I’ve finally been promoted haha! While I’m not there running TGs up front and centre anymore, I still will love to stop and have a chat and I absolutely cannot wait to welcome my incoming peers in DVM1 and 2 to our ever-growing vet fam (and ofc the familiar faces back to uni)! I practically live at uni and more often than not, you’d find me studying (or attempting to) in the common room or vet library so please feel free to come over and say hi! Moving forward in 2024, the MVSA committee and myself included, really hope to build, and strengthen new and existing bonds within the vet community and really bring back that family spirit! We have so many exciting surprises and events coming up and can’t wait to share them with you all! Look out, 2024 is going to be a huge year!
Vice President
Darci Connors
--------------------------
Hey everyone, I'm Darci, your Vice President and a proud DVM3 student. It's an honor to serve on our club's leadership team and be part of the incredible community we're building together. When I'm not buried in textbooks or attending lectures, you'll likely find me soaking up the sunshine with my two energetic husky crosses, Remi and Milo, or chilling out with Bertha my Green tree frog.
Treasurer
Bella Williams
---------------------------
Hey I am Bella from dvm3 and am the Mvsa’s treasurer for 2024. when I’m not keeping up with the demands of vet school and my 2 cats, I love a good David Attenborough doco, a cup of tea or anything pathology related. I’m very keen to get more involved with the vet school this year and if you see me around feel free to say hey.
Secretary
Kathleen Gilabert
---------------------------
Hello, I´m Kathleen and I moved from California,USA, so many things at Murdoch are still quite new to me as well. However, I look forward to bringing a different style and input to the MVSA and being as helpful as possible. Other than being passionate about everything vet related, I really enjoy reformer Pilates, going to new cafes, playing tennis and surfing with my boyfriend. I`m very friendly so if you have any questions or want to say hi, feel free to reach out to me in person or on Insta.

When I am not busy in uni, I love taking on any opportunities I can to work with animals (and people too haha) because I simply just love it! Something I find so fascinating is the journey of building trust and connection with all animals, it is so intriguing! I spend most of my time with my loved ones and my three beautiful border collies, but you’ll also find me on stage singing, dancing and performing. I have a big interested in being a mixed practice or large animal vet, but also keen to explore the wildlife vet side of things!

Hi I’m Georgia, one of the 5th year reps for 2024. When I’m not at uni you’ll find me at the gym, the beach, catching up with mates or back home down south to spend time with my two horses. I have really loved vet school and am sad it’ll be over very soon for us, my biggest piece of advice would be to go to all the events you can and make the most of your time here!
