I first started with the Halifax Vets4Pets team in 2018 doing some work experience for my course in college. Since then I began my journey to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse. Each day brings something new to the practice, it is never a quiet day. I mainly enjoy recovering patients from surgery, running blood samples, and helping on reception and getting to know the clients. I grew up in Poland with animals by my side for my whole life, but at the moment I have a Jack Russell called Scooby and a German Shepherd called Ronnie.

I have always been an animal lover and my dream job has always been to become a Veterinary Nurse. I started studying at the College of Animal Welfare in January 2019 and I am very nearly qualified now! I’m a newbie to the Halifax team and I absolutely love how every day at work is different. My favourite part of the job would have to be the inpatient care and working with such a supportive team. At home I have two mischievous 11 year old cats called Tiggy and Smudge, in my spare time I enjoy socialising with my boyfriend, friends and family, I’m a big foodie so I enjoy anything that’s food related!


My name is Tiegan and I've been on placement at Halifax Vets4Pets since September 2020, after starting my veterinary nurse training in 2019 at the Royal Veterinary College in London. I have always wanted to work with animals and thought about becoming a Vet, however, following my first work experience in school, I found that it was nursing that I was most passionate about. When I graduate, I'd be interested in studying exotics further because I have 3 little gerbils at home and have always enjoyed having small mammals as pets. I also have a Lhasa Apso called Jazz who's been my best friend for the past 7 years. I'm loving the experience of working with the variety of animals we see day to day and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next.

I joined Patrick and the Vets4Pets team in November 2012 after a complete career change. Most of my working life (prior to this role) was spent as an Artificial Insemination Technician in the Equine industry. In 2017 I got my head back in my books and decided to sign up to the 'CMI Level 5 Certificate in Management' where I recently achieved 'Chartered Manager' status.
I have 3 dogs of my own, Lucas-Patterdale mix, Noodle-JRT and Margaret-Yorkie mix. I have two children, Cinnamon and Eric who keep me very busy. My favourite part of the job would have to be the people I get to work alongside and the clients/patients we get to meet and help along the way. It's such a satisfying feeling to know you may have actually made a difference to the life of a pet and then in turn a client. I am extremely proud of the team I work with, we really are like a little family!
In any spare time I get (which isn't much) I love to go for big walks with the family, travel and read.
