Veterinary nurses

Becky has been qualified as an RVN since 2019. She loves her job and enjoys working with wildlife and exotics. Her favourite parts of her day are cytology (looking at things under a microscope), and doing nurse clinics. She loves hand rearing and has hand reared many kittens, squirrels, birds, and even looked after a fox cub for a night. Jasmine was her first hand rear and is now four years old. She is a sassy cat who will sometimes donate blood to cats in need. Outside work she loves books, video games, learning Japanese and (trying) to paint.

Simone moved here in 2012 from the Gold Coast, Australia. She started her career working at Joel Vets as an Animal Nursing Assistant in 2014, she has since qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse and is now the Practice Manager. Her main interests are nursing hospitalised patients, taking blood pressure readings, animal behaviour training, and coaching our student nurses.

In her spare time she enjoys fostering animals, dog grooming, travelling and spending time with her family, including her rescue cat Wispa, and dog, Rosie.

Zoe is one of our Student Veterinary Nurses who has been working at Joel Vets since 2019. She loves the unpredictability of each day, getting stuck in and constantly learning. Zoe has always lived with cats and currently shares a house with her very spoilt cat Cookie. As well as having a lot of love for our lovely domestic animals, she also has a big passion for zoo animals and conservation. In 2017, Zoe took a couple of months out and travelled to Borneo to rehabilitate orang-utans. Once qualified, Zoe has a keen interest in extending her knowledge by undertaking the Advanced Nursing course, to then further specialise in Zoo Animal Nursing.
