Tamara is currently finishing her Veterinary Science Degree at Universidad de Concepción, in Chile, South America. While she works on that, she decided to join us as a Veterinary Nurse from overseas, moving all the way from the other side of the Pacific Ocean and fulfilling her dream of living in New Zealand. She started University in 2017 and to date she has worked in more than 5 Veterinary Clinics for small animals as a Veterinary Nurse, volunteered for over 2 years assisting in surgeries in a rural town, and has also done vaccinations and check-ups for her patients. She is passionate about surgery, anaesthesia and caring for animals’ emotional wellbeing during surgical procedures. Tamara came to Wellington in 2015 as an exchange student at Onslow College, and ever since, she knew that she wanted to work here, which was made possible by the CareVets team. She has a Chow Chow mixed breed dog name Aussie in Chile, that she wants to bring to New Zealand as soon as possible, since she is her life and adventure partner. Her dream is to have a camper van and go around New Zealand with Aussie.
