Wendy Leighton

Born and raised on a "fruit salad" orchard in Mareeba, Far North Queensland, Wendy spent her university holidays packing mangoes, lychees, avocados and custard apples. Wendy graduated with 1st class honours from the Queensland University of Technology in 1992 after completing her Bachelor of Health Science in Optometry. She moved to Perth after graduating with the plan to stay for one year, but fell in love with WA and has called it home ever since. Wendy has been with Abernethy Owens since moving to Perth in 1992 and enjoys all aspects of Optometry. She especially loves that fact that she has seen so many of her patients grow from children into adults and now have children of their own. Wendy spends her free time with her husband and teenage children and soaking up all that WA has to offer. Wendy consults on Saturdays from our Kardinya practice.
