Receptionist

Naomi Van Breugel

I graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Science (Zoology and Conservation Biology) in 2016, and moved to Christchurch from Australia 2 years later in 2018.

I joined the HVC team in October 2022 and have thoroughly enjoyed working with the amazing team.

Reception allows me to meet all our wonderful furry patients, and of course their human companions. I have always enjoyed working with animals, from spending my days as a child at Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary at every school holidays to then working and volunteering in wildlife sanctuaries in Victoria (including Zoos Victoria).

My partner and I are currently building our first home in Darfield and we look forward to welcoming our Leonberger puppy to our family later in 2023. We currently live with the in-laws and share the house with their Spoodle Millie, English Staffy Koda, and Staffy X Archie.

In my spare time I enjoy hiking, gym, reading and just started running, and have been exploring more of this wonderful country
