Meet the team

After qualifying from Liverpool University in 2015 I joined Sunderland Vets4Pets as a new-graduate Vet. In 2016 I moved to Anglesey, North Wales where I lived with my husband and our Great Dane Nelson for a year before moving back to the North East.
I love working at the Sunderland & Sunderland South Vets4Pets practices. Despite the challenges we sometimes face, we are rewarded every day by the fab clients and pets we have the pleasure to look after.
My interests are dermatology and exotics, and outside of work I enjoy long walks with my family and our dogs. My favourite animal is the beautiful Black Rhino.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the university of Edinburgh in 2018 but I am a local girl from Sunderland. i had spent several weeks doing work experience with Sunderland Vets4pets where i became very fond of the practice and the team and was thrilled to be offered a job as a new graduate vet. I love performing surgery but also have an interest in medicine so general practice is a great balance for me. i like to spend most of my spare time is spent walking with my dog, Fergus.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Bristol University in 2020 and joined Vets4Pets Sunderland as a new graduate. After spending time there during university I was excited to join such a close knit team and excellent practice.
I love all aspects of being a vet and can’t wait to continue learning everyday and meeting all the wonderful pets and owners.

I graduated with a Double Degree in Veterinary Medicine & Animal Science from the University of Lleida, Spain. I briefly worked in Barcelona after qualification before deciding to continue my professional career in the UK. I've worked in primary care for two years now and I joined the Sunderland team in November 2021. I enjoy the great variety of cases we see on a daily basis & helping pets and getting to know their owners is what makes me love my job. I have an interest in eyes and completed a post-graduate certificate in ophthalmology in 2023. In my free time, I enjoy travelling and taking my Chihuahua Yeti for beach walks

I graduated in 2019 with a Double Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science from the University of Lleida, Spain. I moved to the North East of England soon after graduating, where I worked in a first opinion practice for two years before joining Vets4Pets Sunderland South team in November 2021. I have a strong interest in Internal Medicine, even though I love all the disciplines of Veterinary Medicine.
I am currently working on a Post Graduate Certificate in Internal Medicine.
In my spare time, I love to explore the countryside. I have a Chihuahua called Yeti who I love taking on walks.

I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in 2022 at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, Poland. I joined Vets4Pets Sunderland as a new graduate and couldn't dream of a better team to start my vet journey with.

I started as a school leaver helping out in a veterinary practice close to home in Northumberland in 1993. I went on to complete my nursing training and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 1998. 5 years later I joined the Vets4Pets Group becoming the groups first veterinary nurse partner. After over 20 years as a Practice Partner my role has moved from full time nursing to a more practice management dominated role although I like to keep my hand in with nursing. My working week is split between Sunderland Vets4Pets and our sister practice Sunderland South Vets4Pets, where I am also the practice partner, as well as working remotely.
My nursing career started in 2000 following an animal management placement at a veterinary hospital in County Durham. I completed my nurse training there and qualified as an Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2004 spending a total of 8 years in practice and gaining numerous additional qualifications before moving on to work with Rachel as an RVN in Vets4Pets. Almost 10 years later and I am now Nursing Manager and Practice Partner alongside Rachel and have recently achieved a Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Nursing which is my greatest professional achievement to date.

I have a spaniel cross called Moz and two rescue cats, Tom and Vincent. I enjoy every aspect of veterinary nursing and love how every day is different. We have an amazing team here, and I am very lucky to be a part of this.

I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2003 and have worked with the team at Vets4Pets for a number of years and during this time I have gained additional qualifications in Emergency & Critical Care and Feline Friendly Nursing. My role with the team involves being a consulting nurse and I am involved in community work visiting schools for educational purposes. I get to meet your pets from their first visits through to their final visit. I am currently studying to be a Feline Blood Pressure Nurse. I have 2 Jack Russell Terriers at home.

I have a 6 year old Cockapoo called Ollie who I love to take on long walks in my spare time. He particularly enjoys going to the beach and getting covered in sand.
I am interested in consulting and I am hoping to develop my skills in rehabilitation and physiotherapy further following qualifying in May 2023.

I have been a student veterinary nurse with the team at Sunderland Vets4Pets for 4 years.

I have a senior black cat, called Kiara who is 20 years old and hopefully I will be adopting a dog soon to join me on my hikes and travelling.

I’ve worked at Sunderland Vets4pets for 3 years now starting with my work experience then VCA course and now doing my nursing which I will hopefully be qualified in 2024.
