Nurse Tina’s career as an animal health advocate began in early 2011. However, her passion for animals began many years earlier in primary school, when the local farm barn spent the day educating the kids about animal handling and health.
Tina had a passion for comfortable patient care, it’s important to her that her patients are comfortable and stress free whilst in her care.

If you have met Tina in the clinic, you will know that she is energetic, personable, compassionate, lives with integrity, and is highly knowledgeable and skilled.

She is well respected by her colleagues, past and present, and is someone you want to spend your time with.

It is not uncommon for our clients to comment “She is great! Make sure you keep her” or “We love the way she looks after out pet”.

Outside of work you’ll find Tina at the beach, rain hail or shine, normally chasing after her very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer, Sonny.
