Introducing: Kalinda

Meet Nurse Kalinda:

A Passion for Pets and the Natural World

What do medieval history, palaeontology, and zoology have in common? They’re all part of Kalinda Korkman’s extraordinary journey into veterinary nursing! At VetLand Hospital & Emergency, we’re thrilled to have Kalinda on our team, blending her passion for science with her love for animals to provide exceptional care every day as our Lead Nurse.

A Journey of Curiosity and Discovery

Ever wonder how someone with degrees in medieval and renaissance history, zoology, and palaeontology found their way into a vet clinic? While exploring career options, she discovered a vet clinic near her home was hiring trainee nurses—and the rest, as they say, is history.

This role gave her the perfect opportunity to combine her fascination with science and her love for animals. Kalinda thrives on hands-on learning and meeting the pets (and their humans) who walk through our clinic every day.

Dedicated to Learning and Wildlife

Kalinda doesn’t just love animals—she’s committed to understanding and helping them thrive. While she enjoys general practice medicine, her dream is to work with wildlife and captive animals. Always eager to learn, Kalinda is known for driving our culture of continuous improvement throughout the clinic team.
