Meet the team
Jordan attended The University of Liverpool; getting his degree in Veterinary Science in 2017 and moved to Dorset to start work straight after graduation. He has lived in the area since and worked in several practices, developing his surgical and medical skills. Jordan’s key interest is in exotic animals; happy to deal with a wide range of species including lizards, tortoises, snakes, birds as well as rabbits, guinea pigs and everything in between – he is completing a Certificate in Advance Veterinary Practice in Zoological Medicine through the University of Edinburgh.
In his spare time Jordan enjoys watching TV series, movies and sports at home on the sofa with cat, Vinnie, walks around the local coastline and countryside with fiancé Lauren, or spending time in the gym.
Lauren completed her Veterinary Nursing course at Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2019. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing, but has a specific interest in the nursing care, surgery and unique requirements of exotic animals, having worked closely with a huge variety of species during her career so far – including penguins, otters, marmosets, to name but a few!
Lauren likes to keep active in her spare time and often enjoys taking dog Shadow for walks, as well as exploring local routes with fiancé Jordan, or working out at the gym, or can be found in front of the TV cuddling their cat, Vinnie.
Merissa has worked in the veterinary industry for 7 years, qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse from Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing in 2019.
Starting as a locum in May 2022, Merissa to take a full time position from August 2022. She has a keen interest in exotic species as well as surgery in general as is a clinical coach, helping to inspire and teach the next generation of veterinary nurses.
In her spare time she enjoys spending time with friends and family along with her two dogs - Dave the Labrador and Mila the St. Bernard!
Emma worked as a veterinary nurse for 15 years in East Sussex. She relocated to Dorset and joined the Vets4Pets Dorchester Team in November 2019.
Emma has a Labrador named Willow who loves long walks in the forest.
Amanda has worked as a Veterinary Nurse since qualifying in 2001, she has worked in many practices over the years in Surrey and Essex. She joined the Vets4Pets team in Dorchester in September 2022, having recently moved to Dorset.
Faye worked for many years in the motor trade before deciding she wanted a change and her love of animals led her to join the Vets4Pets Team in September 2019.
She has two bouncy puppies, Ivy and Nova, who both love cuddles and long walks in the countryside. In her spare time Faye also enjoys fixing cars. You can take the girl out of the motor trade but you can't take the motor trade out of the girl!
Faye has been working with Dorchester Vets4Pets since July 2018. Previously she worked for a small charity for 3 years, doing everything from animal care to reception tasks. She is so pleased to be able to continue working with animals and loves meeting clients' pets, particularly their new family members!
Faye studied for just over a year at Sparsholt College in Winchester to achieve a Diploma in Animal Management. As part of this course she got to work with a wide range of animals, but has plenty of experience with pets.
Faye has a little Chihuahua cross at home who runs the house! But what Chihuahua doesn't? In her spare time she enjoys long walks and singing.
Alison joined us in June 2022. Her previous jobs saw her in the retail and leisure industry, including several as the front of house manager as the Bovington Tank Museum.
Alison is married with a grown up son and a handsome black Labrador named Spook, who thinks 16 hours sleep a day is the right answer to any issue! She grew up on farms and has always had a love for animals, especially cows who have always been lovingly known as 'Moomins' in her family!
Imogen joined the Dorchester Vets4Pets team in June 2022. She has always had a love for animals, having studied Animal Management at Kingston Maurward College. She also has a university degree revolving around performing arts and spends her spare time dancing, acting and singing wherever possible.
Since finishing her degree she has found her way back to her passion for animals and is hoping to study to become a Veterinary Nurse in the near future.
