Fabian Yunda, Auckland (posted 5th January) Vet Nurse / Vet Tech / Vet Assistant

My name is Fabian Yunda and I am looking for a part-time/casual vet nurse, vet tech, or vet assistant job in Auckland. I sat the National Veterinary Examination in Australia last year and passed the first stage, I am a qualified vet in my home country, Colombia, and I have worked as a practitioner there for more than three years both in large animals and small practice. I am not a registered vet in Australia yet, but I do have a lot of clinical/surgical experience on either horses/cattle and small animals. I have worked in different mixed practices in Australia seeing small animals, large animals, small ruminants, and some exotics. I came to NZ for holidays to see my brother after 7 years without seeing each other and I'm liking this country so far.

I am very fun, friendly, and easy to get along with, and have a 'can-do attitude. I am a very professional, enthusiastic, motivated, and hardworking individual. I am very passionate about animals and my work, so I hope to find the right place to stick with and get sponsored.

Warmest regards,

Holly Amato, South Island (posted 3rd January) Veterinary Assistant for May to July 2023

Kia ora!

My name is Holly Amato and I am a second year Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine student at North Carolina State University (NCSU) in the USA, set to graduate in the spring of 2025. I am searching for a job as a veterinary assistant on The South Island during the summer of 2023 at a mixed or large animal hospital. I am an enthusiastic learner who loves all of nature and I have always wanted to live in New Zealand. I am hoping to practice my technical and communication skills this summer, learn about a wide range of cases in various animal species, and experience what it is like to live in New Zealand. I am available to work from May 8th to July 21st 2023.

I received a Bachelor’s of Animal Science and Plant Biology from NCSU in 2021. I have 4 years of experience working as a small animal general practice veterinary assistant, and 6 months of experience as a small/exotic animal technician assistant at an emergency clinic. I currently care for beef/dairy cattle, goats and swine at the vet school teaching farm and have worked on a dairy farm as a milker/calf feeder in the past. I rode with and assisted an equine veterinarian for 4 months and I just completed a week long externship with a large animal veterinarian. I have experience working with dairy goats through a drug trial I assisted with. I value volunteering my skills and time to provide free veterinary services and have assisted with spay/neuter clinics through organizations like Rural Area Veterinary Services, Second Chance Pet Adoptions, and Vida Veterinary Volunteering. I am also passionate about caring for wildlife whose health is threatened by human activity and have been involved in NCSU Turtle Rescue Team for 6 years, completed an internship at a rehabilitation facility, cared for the animals at a local wildlife center, and assisted with a couple wildlife monitoring research projects.

I am an active person who enjoys trail running, backpacking, biking, climbing, futbol, and identifying wild plants/animals. I prioritize kindness and understanding and strive to bring positive energy to all that I do.

Please contact me at hdamato@ncsu.edu with any questions! I would be happy to set up a time to meet over zoom and send over my resume.

Thank you so much for your time and consideration,

Holly Amato
