Introducing VetEnt Lincoln/Leeston team:
Amanda
Multi - Clinic Coordinator
I originally entered the VetEnt
team as a nurse in 2010, now
working as the Clinic Coordinator
over the Lincoln and Leeston
clinics. Living in the area for the
past 16 years with my husband
and children I have recently settled
in Doyleston. I enjoy heading to
the West Coast to spend time with
family and friends.
Kim
Nurse - Leeston
I live on a sheep and cropping
farm in Killinchy with my
husband. We have two grown
children, one granddaughter
and a retired huntaway named
Frank. I have worked as a vet
nurse/receptionist across the
clinics for over 15 years. I enjoy
seeing all our local farmers and
pet owners at our clinics.
Megan
Vet Nurse - Lincoln
I have been Vet Nursing for 15
years and working for VetEnt
for two years. When I’m not at
work I can be found spending
time with family and friends
or lacing up my running
shoes and enjoying the great
outdoors.
Leesa
Large Animal Veterinarian
I have been a part of the VetEnt
Lincoln/ Leeston team for the last
few year. I’ve been on maternity
leave but recently returned to
help cover the afterhours roster.
I have come from a farming
background of sheep and crop
just outside of Lincoln. I live local
in Lincoln with my husband and
7 month old son.
India
Large Animal Veterinarian
Originally from the UK, I have
been a farm vet for 7 years in a
range of places, from the wild
west coast to scones country,
both Devon and Cornwall
and the plains of Canterbury.
I am now in Lincoln with my
menagerie of dogs, horses,
heep and cows. Oh, and my
partner. Loads to keep me busy.
Belinda
Veterinarian - Lincoln
My family and I recently returned to New Zealand, and
I joined the Lincoln VetEnt team at the start of this year.
Since my graduation from Massey University in 2002, I
have been fortunate to care for a wide range of animals in
many countries, as far afield as Mongolia and as tropical as
Samoa. Outside of vet life, I enjoy making the most of local
bush walks, playing ultimate frisbee, and curling up in the
sunshine with a good book.
Eilish
Veterinarian - Leeston
I have been in NZ for nearly 30
years having arrived from Yorkshire
England on my OE. I live
just outside Southbridge with
my husband and two children.
I love meeting and treating the
pets in this area. When I am
not working I enjoy tramping
with friends, gardening, and
kayaking with my family.
Ann
Veterinarian
I came back to clinical practice
after a long sojourn where I
was working in the veterinary
field but in a hands-off role.
After 20+ years in the US, and
six in Australia, I moved to
within 60km of the farm I grew
up on. Getting to know our
local farms as a large animal
veterinarian is a privilege.
Marjon
Veterinarian - Lincoln
Originally from The Netherlands,
where I graduated from
Utrecht University. I have been
working as a small animal vet
in Christchurch since 2016, and
am currently enjoying working
between the VetEnt Lincoln and
Ferrymead clinics.
Nicola
Vet Nurse- Lincoln/Leeston
I have worked as a Qualified
Vet nurse for 10 years. I work
between the Leeston and
Lincoln clinics and have a
special interest in animal
behaviour. I live locally and
enjoy taking my two dogs to
the beach and hacking around
on my horse.
Maddie
Receptionist
I am the receptionist at Vetent
Lincoln and graduated as a
vet nurse from CPIT last year.
I grew up on a dairy farm in
Rakaia with lots of different
animals. I am currently
building a house in Leeston
with my partner Michael and
we own a beautiful French
Bulldog named Alissa.
Katharine
Veterinarian - Lincoln
Originally from the UK, I have
worked as a vet in practices in
Scotland, England, Auckland
and Tauranga before coming
to Christchurch and joining the
VetEnt team at our previously
owned Halswell clinic. I
recently joined the team at
VetEnt Lincoln.
Chloe
Vet Nurse
I’m a qualified vet nurse who
graduated with a diploma in
2017. I have a seven-year-old
collie x called Bella, who
goes everywhere with me.
I’m particularly interested in
animal behaviour and will soon
be running puppy school in the
near future. Can’t wait to meet
everyone’s fur babies!
Rob
Veterinarian
I’ve been working as a
veterinarian since the mid 80s,
starting first in Wanaka before
working in the UK. I work
predominantly as a production
animal vet, sharing my time
between mid Canterbury and
local Selwyn clients.
Jess
Veterinarian Technician
Originally from the North
Island, I have been in the
Veterinary industry since 2006.
After moving South, I joined
VetEnt Riverside in 2013 and
have recently relocated to
Christchurch and joined the
VetEnt Lincoln team. I like
having the best of both worlds...
city living and working rural.
Jamie
Vet Nurse - Lincoln
I’m a veterinary nurse, who
began working weekends at
VetEnt Ferrymead and came
about my position here in
Lincoln in late September 2017.
I have two cats; one of which
was brought into the clinic as a
two-week-old feral kitten!
I also enjoy being creative and
exploring the outdoors
