My name is Terry and I am a vet at Vets4Pets in St Austell, Cornwall. I am very proud of our incredible clinic; we have all the latest equipment including a digital xray machine, ultrasound and so much more! I graduated from Onderstepoort, University of Pretoria in South Africa in 2 and one of my first jobs as a vet (15 years ago!) was here in St Austell. I loved the area so much that it has long been a dream of mine to return. I love how challenging being a vet can be with something different to deal with every day, helping pets and their owners as best I can.

I completed my veterinary degree at the UTAD (Portugal) in December 2014 with a master thesis at NCSU (North Carolina, USA). Soon after, I started working at INEMVET, a Veterinary Hospital in Olhão (Algarve, Portugal). I moved to the UK in February 2017 and on the 1st of March I joined the Vets4Pets team in St. Austell. I’m currently studying towards a post graduate certificate in Small Animal Internal Medicine. Beyond my daily veterinary activities, I enjoy doing all kinds of sporting activities, exploring the outdoors, reading and going to the cinema. At my parents’ house in Portugal, I have two dogs: one Rafeiro Alentejano called Cortês, who loves to dig holes and a German Shepherd called Sissi, who loves to eat.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1997 and moved from Cornwall to London to gain as much varied experience as possible. I spent time working in many different environments, including small sole charge practices, large charity hospitals and second opinion veterinary referral centres. In 2003 I returned home to Cornwall and took a position of Head Nurse in a large busy veterinary hospital where my passion for managing a happy productive team was ignited. I joined Vets4Pets as Manager in September 2018 where I am working towards obtaining the Royal College Of Veterinary Surgeons General Practice higher level of practice standards. I have a slightly crazy cat named Indie.

Having moved down from London in 2017 and leaving a job I had enjoyed for 14 years, I was lucky enough to be offered a position here at Vets 4 Pets. I am loving my time here as I do not currently have a pet at home, so I can enjoy all the lovely pets that come in each day. I love reading, knitting and look forward to lots of walks when my next furry family member finds me.

I have worked in the veterinary industry for 6 years, both as a receptionist and a nursing assistant. I love meeting all the 4 legged friends that visit us, and their lovely owners.
