Paulina Rodriguez, Advisor (ACVM Standards - Animals)

Paulina, who comes from Mexico, completed her veterinary degree in Mexico City and worked as a companion animal vet for two years. She came to New Zealand four years ago for work experience, especially in large animal practice. Last year she passed the required examinations to obtain veterinary registration in New Zealand, and now she is learning about legislation and the pharmacology part of the profession. Paulina says, “I am interested in continuing my education and doing a diploma to open future opportunities. My hobbies are dancing flamenco, travelling, parties. I am a dog lover as well – I enjoy being around dogs and people”.

While Jodie Trubshoe is on maternity leave for the next 12 months, Halina Smolski will take her place leading the Executive Management team.
