Christine graduated from the University Malaysia Kelantan with a degree in Veterinary Medicine and practised in Malaysia for two years as a veterinarian, primarily working with small animals such as cats and dogs. Currently, she is a veterinary nurse at Island Vet and enjoys continuous learning. Christine has a keen interest in small animal medicine and ultrasonography. Back home, she has four mixed-breed dogs and a cat named Camelia, who has been her companion since her third year of veterinary school. Outside of work, Christine enjoys staying active through jogging and badminton, and practises meditation while also prioritising rest.

Elvie’s childhood was spent observing and caring for many kinds of animals, from cats and dogs, to livestock like chickens, pigs, and cows. This kind of lifestyle is common in the countryside when you live in the Philippines. Almost inevitably, her passion to care for animals pushed her to get a degree in Veterinary Medicine in Central Mindanao University, and her life has revolved around animals ever since. In her free time, she cares for her senior dog, a chihuahua named “Chief”. Elvie still loves to explore Singapore as she goes on long walks, and going out with her long-time friends. She loves life and will be exploring more of the world.

She has been in the veterinary industry for more than 30 years, from working in poultry and piggery farms, to exploring as an entrepreneurial veterinarian, to migrating to Singapore in 2002 and finally settling in the small animal practice as a veterinary nurse.

He has a strong interest in small animal dentistry and dental radiography, and is continuously advancing his skills to support accurate diagnoses and improve overall patient care.

Fun fact: When he’s not in scrubs, you’ll probably find Lee lifting weights at the gym or being lovingly bossed around by his adorable pug at home.
