Southend Airport Vets4Pets

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in Italy in 1998 and after practising as a vet in Italy, I moved to the Middle East (Kuwait and Qatar). I have been working in the UK since 2011. My special interests are all first opinion conditions in dogs and cats, along with ultrasound and orthopaedic procedures.

I graduated in Naples, Italy, in 2015. After a training period in Spain and Italy, I moved to the UK for my next challenge and joined the practice in September 2017. 

My interests include anything relating to veterinary medicine and I am currently studying for a Post Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Medicine. My hobbies include travelling, music (I can play the drums), books and seeing a good movie! 

I graduated from university in 2013 with a degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I then volunteered at Vets4Pets Southend for 6 months as a Nurse Assistant, before progressing to Companion Care Chelmsford with a job as a VCA. I transferred to this surgery when it opened, started my nurse training and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in January 2018. I have a Golden Retriever called Brody, a guinea pig called Patrick and a chicken called Fleur. I've been horse riding since I was 9 years old and also loan a horse called Penny.

I started working as a Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) back in 2005 and joined The Vet Group in 2011 as a VCA in Basildon. I moved to the Southend Airport practice in September 2015. After a short break from November 2017 to April 2018, I am now back and studying to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I have 3 children and a dog called Buzz. My hobbies are watching movies and doing arts & crafts with my kids.

I joined the practice when we opened in March 2015. I really enjoy my role, which is always interesting, and I am lucky to work with the great team of colleagues that we have here. At home I have 2 crazy Labradors called Rolo & Ollie, 3 cats and a rabbit. I love to go away for weekends with friends in our caravan.

I qualified as a small animal hydrotherapist in 2014. I joined the practice as a VCA in August 2016 and I started studying for my official VCA qualification in October 2017, which I have just passed successfully! At home I have a dog called Peanut and a cat called Sydney. In my spare time I enjoy dog walking and drawing.

I joined the practice in September 2017. Since then I have enjoyed every moment and the team have been helpful and welcoming. I have 2 pet rats and a very mischievous rabbit called Rocky. He was taken poorly before the store had chance to sell him and I took him home to care for overnight and ended up keeping him! In my spare time I ride horses and go for long walks with my family and 2 Jack Russells, called Jack and Russell!

Hi I'm Katie. I joined the team in July 2017 and work part time 2 evenings a week and one weekend, as I am still in full time education studying for my A levels. I love being around animals and really enjoy meeting our clients and their pets. Our family has 2 Labradors, 3 cats and a rabbit. I also own my own horse called Jess, who I love to ride several times a week.!
