About

My career started when I was seven years old, when I decided to fix a broken pigeon with no feathers and crusty lesions covering its entire body. Safe to say, that pigeon was quickly removed from my care by my mum.

​

After one pigeon and several dead squirrels, I decided to formalise my love for animals and became a vet. Following graduation, I spent some time working in a local general practice before deciding that I wanted to become a specialist. I also quickly realised that internal medicine was my main interest.

​

I then spent the next six years completing two internships and a PhD, before finally enrolling in an internal medicine residency programme at Ghent University in Belgium. The training and exams were challenging but enjoyable, and I obtained my specialist status in 2017, becoming an RCVS-recognised specialist in 2018.

​

Next, I worked alongside many excellent vets and specialists across the UK, spending several years moving between large referral hospitals. Over time, I realised that I did not fit well within a corporate environment or mentality.

​

So here I am—finally doing what I always wanted to do: supporting pet owners and their pets by working alongside general practitioners in the comfort of their own practices, and at affordable prices.
