Tarryn is originally from South Africa (we are very pleased she made the move here), and has been in Christchurch since 2019. In South Africa, she worked in mixed animal practice but is thoroughly enjoying focusing on small animals now.

Tarryn says that building good relationships with clients is very important to her as it helps to achieve better outcomes for the patients. She also enjoys soft tissue surgery and small animal medicine.

When not hard at work, Tarryn and her husband (along with their two young daughters) enjoy being outdoors. She enjoys cycling, running, and tramping when she gets the chance. A good read in the sun is also always a favourite. They share their house with two rescue dogs (Bingo has every breed known to man in her heritage and Titan is a rather nervous Lab X) and a cat ironically named Ninja (the clumsy clogs).
