Welcome Vet Nurse Liz

June 13, 2023

Nurse Liz joined MVS Small Animals in 2023. She started vet nursing in 1993 and qualified in the UK in 1996. She worked in various small animal and mixed practices in the UK before moving to NZ in 1999. Liz worked in Hamilton and Cambridge as a vet nurse before going on maternity leave for 13 years! Liz has previously worked in a sausage factory, as a teacher aide, a cleaner, a gardener and on farm whilst bringing up her 2 children, now aged 11 and 13.
She has a dog, horse and 2 guinea pigs at home and lots of cows.
When Liz came to NZ she wanted to learn how to ski, surf and ride a motorbike. She has achieved all 3, but enjoys surfing the most, or just hanging out at the beach.
The best part of being a veterinary nurse is meeting amazing clients and making a difference for them and their pets. Intensive nursing and nutrition are favourite subjects for Liz.
