Kate qualified as a Veterinarian in 1996. She has a passion for all cat and dog medicine and soft tissue surgery, with a strong leaning toward preventative veterinary care. Kate enjoys the fun team atmosphere at CareVets Napier and working in her most organised clinic to date! She lives rurally with her beef farmer husband, 2 daughters and a menagerie of animals. When not in the clinic, Kate can be found around Hawkes Bay with her daughters equestrian pursuits, or at home with a good book. She loves spending special extended family time in Queen Charlotte Sound, Marlborough.
