Stephanie started off her career within the Veterinary Industry in 2015 as a Veterinary Receptionist; later that year, she pursued her Veterinary Nurse training and went on to qualify in 2017. Stephanie is very proud to be a Registered Veterinary Nurse and loves all aspects of her job role.

Stephanie lives in North Norfolk with her partner Charlie and his daughter. They spend most of their time outside in the countryside with their menagerie of animals.

Amy started working at The Old Golfhouse Watton in July 2023, after working in the same job role for another CVS practice for over a year. Amy aspires to go into her Vet Nurse training in the future, after building up experience and knowledge within practice.

When not at work, Amy spends her time split between Photographing Professionally at Equine events for her Sister’s business, and competing at breed shows with some of her family’s Welsh Ponies, mainly her pride and joy, Jessie, who is now 25 years old. Amy also has 3 beautiful house cats, Hubert, Bessie and Pumpkin, so there’s definitely no time for free time in my life!

Charlotte joined The Old Golfhouse team in March 2023, returning after building up her experience and knowledge in various practices and veterinary nursing roles. Charlotte is passionate about her career in veterinary nursing and building her skills as part of The Old Golfhouse team. She has a keen interest in animal behaviour and making our patients visit to the vets as stress free as possible.

When Charlotte is not working she enjoys spending time with her 1yr old son Archie, and days out with her family and two Labradors Nora and Maisie, enjoying everything Norfolk has to offer. She also enjoys reading and watching documentaries about different parts of the world especially everything to do with Mount Everest and mountaineering.

Before relocating to Norfolk in Autumn 2022, Sally had worked in a variety of small animal first opinion and referral practices in Kent (including a new MiNightVet hospital in 2021 to continue a keen interest in inpatient care), after qualifying as an RVN in 2019. Her special interests include wound management and communication within practice.

She lives with her husband Tim, Henry the Working Cocker Spaniel, and 5 cats including a very ‘characterful’ Cornish Rex called Fig. She enjoys a proper coffee at any given opportunity, especially during a mooch around Norwich.
