Reception Team

Adrienne

Reception Manager

Adrienne joined the team in February 2023 in a full time role. She graduated as a Vet Nurse in 1997 and worked locally until 2006 when she left to work for a large pet food manufacturer based in Auckland.

After 14 years and dearly missing the frontline of the veterinary industry  she is back, this time in a front of house role managing our reception. Immersed in the world she loves once again.

Adrienne, along with her husband lives in Whitford on the all-consuming lifestyle block where they breed Quarter horses & Australian Lowline cattle. She also is surrounded by numerous other animals including dogs, cats, ducks, pigs, sheep and a goat!

In her spare time Adrienne shares her love of motorsport with her family and also competes her horses in Western Performance Events.

Sam

Receptionist and Trainee Nurse

Sam is currently studying for the bachelor of veterinary nursing and works with us in a part time role. You can find him at reception some afternoons and at other times he is out in our hospital and surgical areas undergoing some training with our Vets and Nurses.

Sam especially enjoys the many different things he can do to support our hospitalised patients during their stay.

He loves rats and owns 4 currently, they are very lucky to have such a dedicated owner! Outside of work he enjoys spending time in nature and collecting rocks as well as going to see live music.
