Speaker bio page for Natalie King

Bio

Natalie graduated as a veterinarian from Massey University in 2008. She worked predominantly in mixed practice in the Far North of New Zealand and then in companion animal practice in Auckland. After eight years in clinical work she went on to study and work as a web developer. Having been a career changer herself, she was lured back to Massey University when an opportunity came up to undertake a PhD looking at career changes among New Zealand veterinary graduates. Her research explores the career pathways of two cohorts of Massey veterinary graduates (10- and 20-years since graduating) and the factors that have influenced their career decisions along the way.
