Meet Our Team

Tyler brings over 30 years of experience in the pet industry and has a special love for exotic animals—everything from reptiles and pocket pets to tropical fish. After earning his Veterinary Office Assistant (VOA) certification from Douglas College, he spent many years supporting veterinary teams as a Technician Assistant. More recently, he’s stepped into leadership as the Practice Manager for both Eagle Ridge and The Landing Veterinary Hospitals on the Sunshine Coast.

When he’s not at the clinic, you’ll often find Tyler outdoors enjoying everything the Coast has to offer—whether it’s kayaking, hiking, fishing, or simply exploring the trails with his Aussie, Luna.

Kayde joined our team in 2021 and has been excited to be a part of the team and community ever since.  

Originally from the Lower Kootenays, Kayde has spent multiple years in Alberta before coming back to BC and settling on the Sunshine Coast with her furry crew, a rescued French Bulldog named Cardi and her cats.  She spends her free time hiking, kayaking, gardening, reading and enjoying all of the Sunshine Coast.  

She completed her Animal Health Technology Program in Vermillion, Alberta, and continued on her career path as an RVT for 15 years in small animal practice, emergency, and wildlife rehabilitation.  Over the years, she has fulfilled various management roles while continuing to practice as a technician.  

Meet Paula, a passionate and skilled veterinary technician hailing from the vibrant landscapes of Argentina. A few years ago, Paula embarked on a new adventure, moving to the serene Sunshine Coast with her husband and their three beloved cats to find her calling at Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hospital and she has been dedicating her expertise and compassion to caring for animals ever since.

Paula's love for animals is matched only by her diverse array of interests outside the clinic. A voracious reader, she finds joy in immersing herself in the pages of a good book. Chocolate is her sweet indulgence, a small pleasure that brightens her day. An avid traveler, Paula cherishes the opportunity to explore new horizons, embracing the beauty and diversity of our world. Gardening is another passion, allowing her to connect with nature and cultivate life in her own backyard.

The Sunshine Coast has become more than just a home to Paula; it's a sanctuary. Its tranquil environment and the surrounding natural beauty offer her a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Paula truly loves living here, where the harmony of nature resonates with her spirit. At Eagle Ridge Veterinary Hospital Paula continues to share her warmth, expertise, and love for all living beings, making a difference one paw at a time.

Mary Ann was born and raised in Richmond and moved to the Sunshine Coast 10 years ago. She has a strong passion for learning, and is currently working towards becoming an RVT.  On her time off you can find her outside on the local trails or beaches with her dog Brad.

Hailing from Australia originally, Amanda joined our team at the end of 2018. After her adventures in various parts of the world, she has called the Sunshine Coast home for the last 10 years.

Tashina grew up on the Sunshine Coast and is thrilled to be back in the community she loves. She spent several years living in the Lower Mainland, where she first began her career in the veterinary industry, and has been learning and growing in the field ever since.

Animals have always been an important part of Tashina’s life — from beloved family pets to spending nearly all of her free time at the barn while growing up. Veterinary medicine is a true passion for her, and she’s grateful to be part of a profession dedicated to caring for animals.

At home, Tashina shares her life with her dog, Riley, and two cats, Markus and Zoe. In her spare time, you’ll often find her curled up with a good book and her furry companions, or out exploring with Riley. She enjoys discovering new trails, chasing breathtaking views, paddle boarding, snowshoeing, taking photos, and soaking up each season.

Janice joined the practice in 2018. She first came to us as a client before joining our team.

Originally from Edmonton, Janice caught the travel bug at an early age. Making her way around the world as a SCUBA instructor, she got to be face-to-face – or fin to fin – with oodles of wildlife. It took almost 15 years of adventure, but she finally found her feet on the beautiful Sunshine Coast of BC and plans to stay. 

At home, Janice’s happy little family includes two dogs – Reefer a pitty-heeler mix, and Bella a red nose pitbull. You can often find them on an outdoor adventure up the mountain, or out (and in) the water!

Meet Sarah, our cherished Veterinary Client Service Representative, whose roots are embedded in the vibrant community of the Sunshine Coast. Sarah embodies the spirit of our clinic with her unwavering dedication and passion for fostering connections. Her genuine love for animals and their well-being is matched only by her commitment to our clients, creating meaningful relationShowcase Itemsships through heartfelt conversations. Sarah's ability to listen, understand, and empathize makes her an invaluable part of our team and a favorite among our clients.

Away from the clinic, Sarah immerses herself in the simple pleasures of life. An avid reader, she finds solace in the pages of a good book, allowing her imagination to soar and her mind to unwind. Family is the cornerstone of Sarah's life, and she cherishes the time spent with her three children, her partner, and his mother. Together, they create memories that last a lifetime, whether it's through shared meals, outdoor adventures, or simply enjoying each other's company at home.

Sarah's love for the outdoors extends to her green thumb. Gardening is not just a hobby for her; it's a way of relaxing. Her garden is a testament to her nurturing spirit, blooming with life and color, much like the relationships she cultivates at our clinic.

With a lifelong love for animals and years of experience as a devoted pet owner, Emily has always been drawn to working with animals and the people who care for them.

In her role of Client Relations, Emily ensures both pets and their owners feel welcomed and supported from the moment they walk through our doors.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll likely find her exploring trails or enjoying beach days with her adventure-loving dog, Jasper.
