Deborah can be found at the gym by at 5am every morning before work. Your dog and cat can be assured of treats and calm, gentle handling so they love coming again and again.
Tyler graduated from The University of Adelaide, South Australia in 2019. Having travelled to New Zealand a fair few times in the past, the decision to shift over permanently was certainly not difficult. She has thoroughly enjoyed exploring every corner of NZ from north to south, but local experiences here in Auckland have been just as memorable. In her spare time she enjoys all things active from swimming, skiing, hiking and boxing; but a quiet night in with a new sewing project can be just as good.
Kimberley graduated from Massey University in 2022. She has had a varied career so far, including spending time in the Navy as an Engineer. Kimberley splits her time between the Hobsonville and Dairy Flat clinics, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. If you’re lucky you might see her dog Ritchie, an English springer spaniel, wandering around the clinic looking for pats!
James graduated from Massey in 2019. After university he was keen to get stuck in to rural practice and worked in South Taranaki with both large and small animals for over 3 years with his partner who is also a vet. After calving enough cows James and his partner decided to move up to Auckland for a change of lifestyle. During his spare time he loves watching sport (up the Canes), hunting and enjoying having more than one nice place to eat out!
Michael Graduated from Massey University in 2021. After finishing his degree, in Palmerston North, he was keen to get back to Auckland where he grew up. In his spare time he enjoys playing sport such as Hockey and going sailing. He also enjoys traveling and going out with friends. Michael currently lives with two excitable Golden Retrievers and a Ragdoll.
