Veterinary Surgeon

Tia-MRCVS

Tia graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2020 with a degree in Veterinary Medicine. After starting in a small independent practice, she gained experience in a large, busy hospital before joining DNA in 2024. Her key interests in veterinary medicine include emergency care, cardiology, and animal welfare.

In 2023, Tia spent six months traveling through Southeast Asia, where she volunteered at animal shelters while immersing herself in the region’s diverse cultures. A passionate traveler, she hopes to visit every country in the world one day!

While she doesn’t currently have any pets of her own, she often looks after her aunt’s three mischievous Chihuahuas.

Hope-MRCVS

Hope joined our team at the start of 2025 having flown straight in from her native Australia where she qualified 21 years ago.

Hope immensely enjoys forming strong relationships with teams and clients and had previously worked at one Sydney hospital since graduating – that’s some very long-standing friendships made and pets lives saved!

There isn’t much that Hope is not experienced to provide ranging from complex ultrasound and advanced soft tissue surgery through to behavioural consults and second opinion medicine cases.
