We’re thrilled to announce that Nicole Sarver will be joining our team on September 1st!

Here’s a little introduction from Nicole herself:

“Hailing from the other side of the globe, I was born and raised in the USA. My husband and I visited New Zealand eight years ago and fell in love with the nature and the people, promising ourselves that one day we’d make this beautiful country our home.

I graduated with a degree in Biology, followed by my veterinary degree from the University of Wisconsin in 2013 (Go Badgers!). Since then, I’ve worked as an overnight emergency vet, a daytime companion animal vet, and everything in between. I also spent time volunteering at our local aquarium, marking sea turtle nesting sites, which inspired me to head back to school for a third time to complete a Master’s in Conservation Medicine.

Outside of work, I’m happiest outdoors—hiking, camping, running, biking, kayaking, or anything that gets me into nature. I’m also passionate about conservation and wildlife photography.

Fun fact: I’ve had the incredible opportunity to spend a month each in Madagascar and India, exploring their national parks and photographing endemic wildlife.

My special interests in veterinary medicine include critical care, urgent care cases, and internal medicine.”

We’re so excited to welcome Nicole to the clinic — be sure to say hello when you see her around!
