Team Members

I began my journey with Vets North Helensville in 2015 as a student nurse and have never left. Now based at our Kumeu branch, I’m a diploma qualified veterinary nurse and The Kumeu Operations Lead, overseeing rosters, students, inventory, and generally fixing whatever needs attention. Growing up in Taranaki as a farmer’s daughter, I developed a passion for both large and small animals. I especially love bringing my dog Peaches to work, she’s even given lifesaving blood donations twice. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy running (and collecting medals), hiking, socialising with friends, and tackling DIY projects at home.

Stevie has been surrounded by all kinds of animals most of her life. Her current entourage consists of Keira a staffy cross, Pumpkin a Chihuahua, and Armani a Rottweiler. She has competed in equestrian sports for over a decade. In her spare time you are likely to find Stevie, her daughter, and the rest of the clan off on a muddy, sandy, wet adventure of some kind.

Stefanie joined the Vets North team in 2016 and is one of our welcoming faces at the Kumeu clinic. Having grown up surrounded by animals, she now shares her home with two cats and two dogs who keep her on her toes. Outside of work, Stefanie loves camping, fishing, and anything outdoors with her family. Her down to earth nature and genuine love for animals make her a valued member of our team and a favourite with clients and their pets.

Petra graduated from Unitec in 2017 with a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and joined the Vets North team in 2021. Now Head Nurse at our Kumeu clinic, she is passionate about supporting her team and guiding the next generation of veterinary nurses. Her current animal entourage includes Fin the energetic Blue Heeler, Olive the SPCA special, and Irwin the hand-raised (and highly opinionated) Ragdoll.
