I graduated from the Veterinary School in Vienna in 2010. After graduating I spent another 2 years working as an assistant veterinarian at the department of Internal Medicine. Since then, I have worked in Italy and in the United States gaining experience in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine. I've been working in the UK since April 2012. I have a keen interest in ultrasonography and have a postgraduate certificate in Diagnostic Imaging.

At home I have a domestic long hair called Yolo and a Chihuahua called Otis (pictured). When I'm not working I am looking after my twins with whom I love to bake and garden.

I became the practice owner of Vets4Pets Sydenham in February 2022 and I am looking forward to creating the best client/patient experience in my area.
