Dawnelle was born and raised in Bermuda and always knew that she wanted to work with animals in some capacity. After some searching, Dawnelle realized that nursing was her dream profession. Determined to purse this, she started her nursing journey over 20 years ago and joined Ettrick in 2012. She greatly enjoys all aspects of nursing but is most passionate about pain management and rehabilitation. She has undertaken extra training and is certified in small animal massage. She takes pride in creating pain management plans for animals recovering from surgery and elderly animals that may be suffering from joint issues such as arthritis. Outside of work, Dawnelle has many hobbies including gardening, crafting, crocheting and photography. She also enjoys spending time with Bananas her cat.
Hello, my name's Emma and I'm a Veterinary Nursing Assistant. I was born and raised here in Bermuda and I am currently in a distance learning program at Purdue University to get my Associate in Applied Science in Veterinary Nursing. I have always worked with animals in some sense and love caring for the fur babies here at Ettrick. My role here has many aspects to it, but my main focuses are helping the nurses and vets to care for the animals, whether it is helping to hold them for exams or assisting in their care while in hospital. I also run samples in our lab and help with inventory and stock. I love to spend time with my two kitties, Sushi and Nori and enjoy playing video games and watching movies in my free time.
