Biography

Angela Hartman

Angela is originally from Virginia in the USA and obtained a Bachelors of Science in Biochemistry in 1988 from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. This led to her working in a research laboratory in the School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a Biochemist for 4 years. She then pursued a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis (UCD), and graduated in 1999. While attending vet school, she was employed as an ICU nursing technician at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at UCD. She soon discovered her interest in diagnostic imaging after receiving her first lectures in the physics of radiology. After completing her veterinary degree, Dr. Hartman practiced as a general practitioner in a small animal practice for 1.5 years before being accepted for the 4-year radiology residency at UC Davis and obtaining her diplomat status in the American College of Veterinary Radiologists in 2003.

She remained as clinical faculty at UC Davis for 8 months prior to immigrating to New Zealand to take a position as clinician/lecturer in radiology at Massey University for 9 years. She now practices privately both internationally and domestically via teleradiology and provides a referral ultrasound service to local clinics in the Tasman region. Living in Nelson, Angela’s goal is to benefit as many patients and pet owners as possible by providing diagnostic imaging support to veterinarians in New Zealand and abroad.

Mark Johnson – BVSc MANZCVS (Radiology)

Mark graduated with a BVSc from Massey University in 2016 and started general practice in the beautiful Bay of Islands shortly after. During this time he developed a keen interest in diagnostic imaging undertaking several courses especially in ultrasound to advance his skills. He completed a rotating internship at ARC Auckland in 2022 and obtained ANZCVS memberships in radiology in 2023.

Mark’s goal is to continue his education and to keep growing his skills in diagnostic imaging. He will be working with and learning from the excellent team here at SVI for the next year as a radiology intern. He hopes to continue along this pathway into a residency and eventually qualify as a radiologist.
