Veterinary Nurse

I began my veterinary journey in 2014 as a Kennel Technician, driven by a lifelong passion for animal care. I have six years of experience in emergency medicine and four years in general practice. I joined the team here in early 2024. Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and pets, including my two children, my Doberman, Dante, my cat, Lilith, and a fascinating collection of reptiles. My free time is often filled with outdoor adventures with my children, like fishing, hiking in the White Mountains, and exploring new trails.
