Milly graduated as a Veterinary Nurse in 2024, pursuing the career she had always dreamed of after her son started school. Growing up surrounded by animals—from guinea pigs and rabbits to goats and ducks—Milly developed a lifelong passion for animal care, which she now brings to her role every day. Her love for animals has clearly rubbed off on her 6-year-old son, who is already set on becoming a vet himself. Outside of work, Milly enjoys spending weekends with her family and attending dog shows with her beloved dogs.
Paige graduated from Unitec in 2021 with her Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. Growing up with quite the menagerie of animals at home and having a mother who was a vet nurse, Paige’s passion for animal care was ingrained from an early age, so a career within the veterinary industry was inevitable! In her spare time, you’ll find Paige spending time with family, trying her hand at photography or exploring new places!
