After graduating from the University of Melbourne, Kylie worked in semi-rural Australia for several years until the desire to travel set in. She arrived in the UK in 2008 and spent some time combining travel with work while locuming around the country, before settling down to the British way of life. Kylie especially enjoys rehabilitation medicine including performing acupuncture to manage chronic conditions such as arthritis; surgery and also has an interest in animal behaviour.
She has 3 Australian Cattle Dogs, that in her spare time enjoys doing canicross, stockdog training and agility and she also enjoy running, hiking and reading.

Suzie graduated from Bristol Veterinary School in 2015. She started her veterinary career doing both equine and small animal work in Devon, before switching to small animal practice only. After two years, Suzie decided it was time to move back towards her home in South West London and joined us, splitting her time between Aspen and our sister branch in Ewell. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary work but has a particular interest in ultrasound and medicine work ups. Outside of work, Suzie enjoys spending time with her horse Tabby, keeping fit and catching up with friends and family.

Erin enjoys all elements of veterinary practice and the diversity it provides. She has shown particular interest in internal medicine cases and with the most up to date knowledge she’s a huge asset to our team. Outside of work Erin has a busy social life, enjoying time with her friends, keeping fit and the gym and travelling to lots of exciting places. She is a firm favourite with our patients already – always with liver paste in hand!

Rachel came to EVC on a school-arranged work experience in 2015 and was so impressive she was immediately offered an evening position to help the nurses. On leaving school in 2017, her determination to follow her dreams led her to join the team full-time. Rachel gained her qualification as a veterinary nurse in 2022. She loves all kinds of animals and they all love her.
Student Veterinary Nurse
Tia joined the team in November 2023 as a student veterinary nurse, moving between both our Ewell and Aspen clinics. She’s always wanted to be in the veterinary industry, ever since she was a young child. Tia shows amazing care and attention to our patients and especially enjoys aiding their recovery as well as helping the team whenever she can. She has 2 beautiful cats at home called Luca and Mimi, and a Tortoise called Mo.

Gill has spent time in South Africa indulging in her passion for big cats, caring for lion cubs and has walked with a cheetah.
