Allen graduated from Massey University in 2010. After working at Wellington SPCA for 4 years, Allen made the move back to his home town of Auckland to begin work as an exotic pet veterinarian.

While Allen mainly focuses on tending to our exotic patients, he still likes to see the occasional cat and dog which always brings back good memories of the SPCA days.

Outside of work, Allen can be found at the gym, playing basketball, eating (a lot) and chasing after his son and daughter.

He obtained his Membership of the Australasian College of Veterinary Science in Avian Medicine and Surgery in 2021.
