Our Vet Nurses

Krystal Marshall

DVN

Veterinary Nurse

Krystal was born in Dunedin and moved up north in 2014 where she completed her Diploma in Veterinary Nursing in 2017 through UCOL in Palmerston North. She has returned home with her husband and two dogs and is jumping right into her veterinary nursing career with us and says she is very excited to be here. In her spare time Krystal likes to spend time at the beach or with her family making the most of the hopefully sunny outdoors!

Alya Zamri

DVN

Veterinary Nurse

Alya recently graduated from Otago Polytechnic, completing my Diploma in Veterinary Nursing and worked at Humanimals as an intern before being taken on as a full-time veterinary nurse. “Humanimals is a great place to kick-start my career. Being a Vet Nurse wasn’t the first thing that came to mind during choosing what to do after high school. After applying for the course on a whim, I am absolutely in love with what I do and am immensely grateful and proud that I decided to go on this path. I still have lots to learn, but I am particularly interested in anaesthetics and preventative veterinary medicine!”

Casey Hoatten

Veterinary Nurse

Casey recently completed her Diploma in Veterinary Nursing in 2021. Casey is enjoying all aspects of Veterinary Nursing but has a special interest in anaesthesia and rehabilitation. In her spare time she enjoys watching and playing online games, reading and watching horror movies with her two senior cats Garfield and Beezlebub.
