Home is with her partner on a dairy farm.  But that wasn’t always the case for Christine.  Her story started in Scotland and includes time spent at the University of Glasgow (2015 BVMS Hons).  Fast forward to today, you’ll find Christine working as a mixed vet in our Gore clinic.  There’s a particular interest in neonatal medicine.  Outside of work, tramping is the main interest, exploring the great outdoors of New Zealand. 

Our Clinical Head (East) is also a shareholder.  More importantly, Bianca is also a true local and is Southland born and bred.  She popped away to the North Island and Massey University to gain a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (2006) before returning to the mainland and joining VetSouth.  It’s here where concentrates on large animals, with a special interest in dairy reproduction and herd health.  At home there is husband, Dan plus daughter, Isla.  Let’s not forget Hudson the cat though.  Outside of all that, it's about relaxing with friends and playing sport. 

Gemma joined VetSouth in 2012 and has worked in various HR related roles since 2005. Born in Christchurch, but having spent her last years of high school at Northern Southland College, she is happy to be back in the area, and considers Southland home. Outside of work interests include camping trips, theatre and waterskiing in the summer holidays!

Michelle grew up locally on a sheep farm at Brydone and Waimumu. Michelle started with Gore Vets in 1996 and has been employed in a variety of roles within VetSouth including retail, customer services, vet nursing and more recently as the Operations Manager at VetSouth Gore. Outside of work Michelle is busy with her family, which includes two boys of 15 & 13 and a lifestyle block.

Dave MacKenzie was brought up on a small lifestyle block and has always had a strong passion for animals and farming. He has worked on various farms in Southland and South Otago and completed a mustering season in the ‘Kimberlys’ in Western Australia. The last 2 ½ years David has worked for Advance Agriculture Ltd as their store man. His hobbies include fishing, duck shooting, fire brigade, young farmers, friends and family and of course a good ole BBQ and a few beers. David is looking forward to meeting new clients and catching up with the old ones.
