After graduating from Murdoch University in 2007, Jo worked at a small animal clinic in Perth for a number of years before moving to the UK. There she worked as a locum veterinarian throughout London and the English countryside. Highlights of her years spent locuming in the UK included working in a large referral orthopaedic clinic, and being the "Vet on Set" for various advertising campaigns featuring animal actors.
