Meet the Team







  • Jenny Glass

    Registered Veterinary Nurse

    RVN 2012

    Before qualifying as an RVN in 2012, I obtained a BSc in Countryside Management from the University of Newcastle and subsequently worked for the RSPB.

    Having worked in veterinary nursing for 12 years now I feel I have experienced many different aspects of the profession. My main interests lie within nutrition and weight management, dentistry and puppy socialisation. Within my role at Hadrian I am looking forward to establishing a series of nurse clinics and developing the level of services provided by our nursing team.

    Outside of work I enjoy walks and holidays in the Highlands with my 3 dogs along with furthering my interest in nature, wildlife and ornithology.
    I also like to provide the team at Hadrian with cake!

    I look forward to meeting you and your pets over the coming months.

  • Paulina Cudzilo

    Veterinary Surgeon

    MRCVS

    I qualified from Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences, Poland, in 2015. During this time I spent one year studying in Portugal.
    I moved to the UK in 2016 and I have worked between West Way practices and Hadrians since October 2017.
    I have a keen interest in feline medicine, ophthalmology and soft tissue surgery and I am enjoying working closely with Honor to further my knowledge and understanding of these subjects.
    Since making my home in Newcastle I have re-homed two gorgeous rescue kittens who I call Peppe and Roni. In my free time I enjoy going to the gym, surfing, walking and travelling.
    I am at Hadrians Vets on Mondays, Thursday and some Saturdays and I really look forward to meeting you and your pets.

  • Celia Lowe

    Receptionist

    Qualified CSQP

    I live in Hexham but am originally from the South of England. I have worked as a veterinary receptionist for 15 years. I deal with client care, ordering, correspondence, and many more duties…the list is endless.

    I have had many animals over the years I currently own one very special cat “Popi”.

    I am passionate about helping people, meeting new people and the general hustle and bustle of my job. There is never a dull moment. I feel we provide an excellent, valuable service for pet owners. We are a small friendly team and we always work closely together.

    My passion is fitness, walking and exploring beautiful Northumberland and Cumbria. I feel lucky to live in Such a stunning area.

    I have borrowed Tulloch Jenny’s Gordon Setter who is very photogenic

  • Claire Kealey

    Claire Kealey

    Registered Veterinary Nurse

    RVN 2017

    I qualified as an RVN in 2017 and have been working in the veterinary profession for going on 12 years now! In this time I have developed my interests in feline nursing by undertaking a diploma in feline nursing with the ISFM and will be studying again to achieve an advanced certificate in feline behaviour. As you can probably tell, my main interests lie in all things feline. I have a huge soft spot for senior cats but I also love anaesthesia and being in theatre too. I believe strongly in treating your pets as they were my own and here at Hadrians, I get to do that.

    When I'm not at work I enjoy yoga, reading, pandering to my two cats and a good quiz night - I'm a whizz at Pictionary!

  • Michelle Clark

    Receptionist

    I have recently come back to being a Veterinary Receptionist, after a period of 3 years being a stay- at-home mum. I never realised just how much I missed it until I joined the team at Hadrian recently. As a small child I always had a love of animals, especially horses. Jet, my Welsh Cob x Dales is the “love of my life” and, since moving next to Bellingham nearly 8 years ago with my husband and small daughter, I have been lucky enough to have my horses at home with me and expand our menagerie to include our working dogs, sheep, ferrets, poultry and waterfowl. Our 8 year old daughter takes up the remainder of my time, closely following in our footsteps with her love of the outdoors and animals. If I manage to get a “spare 5 minutes” I enjoy reading, music – particularly attending concerts and spending time with my family and friends. I look forward to welcoming you and your pets to the Practice.

  • Annika Lough

    Receptionist and Auxiliary

    I am originally from Newcastle but have lived on a farm in Hexham for the past 11 years. I have horses, a Border Collie called Tip, 3 cats, and multiple chickens. I have had a great love for animals since an early age. I started horse riding at age 6 and soon became hooked. I gained my National Diploma in Equine and Business Studies at Houghall College and went on to work in various yards gaining experience in most equine fields. I also worked as a kennel assistant helping to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome unwanted and stray animals. I am a proud mum to my daughter Ebony who is my ‘mini me’. We share a love of shopping, films, Harry Potter, Superheroes and animals. I also enjoy photography, reading, gaming, wildlife and spending time with friends and family.
