Meet the team
We are fortunate to have a warm and caring team at Vermont Vets who are truly dedicated to providing expert care and compassion to our furry visitors every single day.
Karolina Pionk
Clinical Director
With over 20 years in veterinary medicine, I bring extensive expertise and a compassionate approach to our team. Trained in Lublin, Poland, I specialise in soft tissue surgery. Motivated by the desire to help those who cannot speak for themselves, I joined our practice in Virginia Water to foster a supportive community where pets and their owners feel understood.
Outside of work, I enjoy DIY and carpentry, gardening, heavy metal or rock opera while snacking my not-so-guilty pleasure —pickles!
Vicki Burchell, RVN Ncert Anaesthesia, Clinical supervisor
Head Veterinary Nurse
I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) and anaesthesia certificate holder. I am currently studying towards my ISFM feline-friendly nursing certificate which I hope will help our furry friends have a better and friendly experience at the vets.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing netball on a Tuesday evening and I enjoy watching my 2 sons play football.
Nikki Williams
Front of House
I have worked in various roles in the industry for 23 years, from veterinary nursing to practice management.
I have a keen interest in exotics.
Outside of work, I like to get creative with resin and cosmetics. I make an abundance of wax melts, bubble baths, bath bombs, and ornaments.
I currently own two snakes: a royal python and a kingsnake.
Scarlett Jackman
Patient Care Assistant
I’ve worked in the veterinary industry for 3 years, and I can’t imagine working elsewhere!
My love for animals drives my passion, and I dream of becoming a vet nurse specialising in exotics.
My hobbies are mainly spending time with animals, listening to music (I love Taylor Swift!), watching true crime programs and doing my makeup.
I have a bustling household with 12 pets of my own - 2 naughty dachshunds and 6 adorable chinchillas.
Alice Coombes
Patient Care Assistant
I have a Level 3 Extended Animal Management Diploma and am trained in pet first aid. My deep passion for animals shines through in everything I do, and I am determined to pursue my dream of becoming a Veterinary Nurse.
When I am not providing supportive care to our furry patients at Vermont Vets, you might catch me spending time with my dog, travelling the world, hitting the gym or enjoying quality moments with family and friends.
