Tyler Braimbridge

Trainee Veterinary Nurse

Tyler is an enthusiastic and outgoing animal lover who is delighted to be working as a trainee nurse at our amazing clinic. She is super eager to expand her knowledge in the veterinary industry and to further get to know all of the furry faces that come into Nedlands!

In her spare time, Tyler loves to take her Golden Retriever Zeus and her Labradoodle Luna on walks around the river or on an exciting day to the beach. Apart from spending 90% of her spare time with her pooches, you will find Tyler either at the beach going for a snorkel, out on her family’s boat at Rottnest, working up a sweat in the gym or playing/coaching netball.

Tyler will be a fully qualified veterinary nurse at the end of 2023 and we can’t wait for her to continue her veterinary nursing journey with us!
