I joined Culverden as Head Nurse at Crowborough in 2003 but left in 2010 for a short break. In 2014, I returned and became Head Nurse at Tunbridge Wells. I love all aspects of my job, particularly inpatient care. I am a Clinical Coach to our student nurses. At home I have a cat and a 3 legged tortoise, as well as a family who keep me busy. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, films, reading and catching up with friends.

I started working at the Crowborough branch of Culverden in February 2022 and became Head Nurse in January 2024. I have already been made to feel very welcome here, and can see they are a great team to work with!

I have been veterinary nursing since 2001, and carried out my training at London zoo.

During my nursing career I have been lucky enough to have done critical care emergency work, run puppy parties, been Head Nurse, and I have been clinical coach to many students, helping them to qualify.

My main interests in the profession are pain management, CATS (anything feline friendly), training students and weight clinics. Outside of work I enjoy anything food or film related, going to the theatre and gardening.

I joined the Crowborough practice in 2002 as a receptionist, before transferring to the Tunbridge Wells surgery to train as a veterinary nurse, I then qualified in 2006. After a brief trip around the world trip in 2008, to cuddle Koalas, swim with wild dolphins and climb a glacier, I returned to work at the Crowborough surgery in 2009. I have a keen interest in small mammals especially rabbit husbandry and anaesthesial have my own elderly bunny called Blossom. I enjoy running nurse clinics, and love running weekly puppy parties. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and trying to keep up with my two young boys. I enjoy gardening, decorating, and attempting DIY projects!

 I joined Culverden and started my degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2014, qualifying in 2017. I have previously worked with a variety of species in Australia’s outback and volunteered at a cat sanctuary local to my hometown. At work I have a keen interest in behaviour and anesthesia and have a particular soft spot for the misunderstood “bully breeds”.

At home I have two rescues, a dog called Zola and a cat called Coach who never fail to make me laugh and get on like a house on fire!

I am passionate about animal welfare and rehabilitation. In my spare time enjoy a quiet life trekking around the countryside with my husband and dog (and binoculars!) as well as art, photography, country music and travelling.

I qualified as a VN in 1996 and have had a varied career!  I enjoy all aspects of being a Veterinary Nurse as every day is different. I especially enjoy nursing feline patients. I joined Culverden in April 2018 after spending a number of years at a mixed practice in Hailsham. In my spare time I enjoy running, walking my terrier and riding my horse Melody.

I started my veterinary nurse training at Culverden in May 2017 having previously worked with exotic mammals and reptiles. I’m exciting to be learning new skills and was delighted to become a veterinary nurse! In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym and the cinema. I have a working cocker spaniel called Harry.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2001 and joined Wadhurst branch of Culverden in September 2020. I really enjoy all aspects of nursing but I especially like caring for inpatients and seeing our lovely clients for nurse clinics. My own menagerie includes two horses, a rescue staffy cross called Obi and a cheeky rescue cat called Buddy. In my spare time I love riding, dog walking, and cooking.

I joined Culverden in 2019, having qualified a year before. I have a special interest in rabbits and rodents, which has led me to complete an qualification in advanced small mammal nursing.

I live with my husband, son, two cats and two rabbits, which keep me very busy. When I do get down time I enjoy cooking, country park walks and video games.

Carina joined the team at Culverden Tunbridge Wells in June 2021 as a Student Veterinary Nurse after having previous nursing experience in both a veterinary hospital as well as general practice. She has a keen interest in rabbit welfare, husbandry, and nutrition. Her menagerie at home consists of two bunnies, two budgies, a Beagle, and a Fiancé. All rescues of course!

Emilie has been a nurse since 2018 and qualified in January 2022. She joined Culverden in May 2022 to work at the Wadhurst and Crowborough branches. Emilie’s keen interests are anaesthesia, post operative care of inpatients and physiotherapy/rehabilitation. In her own time she can be found riding her horse or enjoying many countryside walks with her Jack Russell terrier called Buddy

She loves anything chocolate or cheese!!

I joined the practice in October  2023  after qualifying in Veterinary Nursing and Companion Animal Behaviour at the University of Bristol. I was delighted to join the fantastic team at Culverden Vets Tunbridge Wells branch. I enjoy a lot of aspects of veterinary nursing, I have a keen interest in medical nursing, anaesthesia and physiotherapy. At home I have two family dogs, Mango and Obi, who we rescued from Cyprus when they were 4 months old. In my spare time, I enjoy dog walks, long distance running and watching the Formula 1.

I enjoy walking, camping, cooking and boxing at my local Amateur boxing club.

I joined the Crowborough team in 2015 as a receptionist, keen to further my career I transferred to the Tunbridge Wells hospital branch in January 2022 to start my Veterinary Nurse training. I am enjoying my training so far and have an interest in emergency and critical care. In my spare time (if I’m not studying!) I enjoy taking my two cheeky Welsh Corgi’s for country walks and enjoy pottery painting with my friends.

I was excited to join the team at Wadhurst in June 2022 and  immediately felt welcomed by a fabulous group of colleagues and have since moved to nurse training in Tunbridge Wells.

I have worked both in the Veterinary and animal rehabilitation industry all my working life, with a passion for Equine Rehabilitation and Complementary Therapies. Over the years I have been fortunate to have my own animals to care for which include hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, dogs and horses.

I love being outdoors whether it’s hiking up mountains, running, horse riding or skiing when the season is right.

I found a new passion for growing edible plants and cut flowers with an interest in improving the habitat for our local wild life which includes my resident hedgehogs and army of frogs.  I have to look out for them when shutting the greenhouse doors at night!
