Meet the team
I graduated from University in 2018. I have a keen interest in diagnosing and treating surgical cases and am looking to further my knowledge and skills in orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery in the near future.
I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the university of Edinburgh in 2018 but I am a local girl from Sunderland. i had spent several weeks doing work experience with Sunderland Vets4pets where i became very fond of the practice and the team and was thrilled to be offered a job as a new graduate vet. I love performing surgery but also have an interest in medicine so general practice is a great balance for me. i like to spend most of my spare time is spent walking with my dog, Fergus.
I graduated in 2019 with a Double Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science from the University of Lleida, Spain. I moved to the North East of England soon after graduating, where I worked in a first opinion practice for two years before joining Vets4Pets Sunderland South team in November 2021. I have a strong interest in Internal Medicine, even though I love all the disciplines of Veterinary Medicine.
I am currently working on a Post Graduate Certificate in Internal Medicine.
In my spare time, I love to explore the countryside. I have a Chihuahua called Yeti who I love taking on walks.
I have a degree in Genetics and Biotechnology from the University of Vila Real, Portugal and also my veterinary degree, which was concluded in the University of Veterinary Medicine of Lisbon (FMV) in May 2022.
I love to work with pets, kind people and to keep learning every day. It's a pleasure to work in Vets4Pets Sunderland South thanks to our joyful team and our kind clients, that characterize the North East.
My favourite area of Veterinary Medicine is endocrinology, buy I have a strong interest in cardiology, ultrasonography and all areas of Internal Medicine.
In my free time I like to travel abroad and to do outdoor activities, such as hiking, foraging and cycling.
I started as a school leaver helping out in a veterinary practice close to home in Northumberland in 1993. I went on to complete my nursing training and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 1998. 5 years later I joined the Vets4Pets becoming the groups first Veterinary Nurse Partner. After over 15 years as a Practice Partner my role has moved from full time nursing to now mainly practice management although I like to keep my hand in with nursing. My working week is split between both Sunderland South Vets4Pets and Sunderland Vets4Pets in Fulwell.

Senior Registered Veterinary Nurse
RVN
I have had a love for animals since being little and when an opportunity came about to join the team at Vets4Pets as a VCA I jumped at the chance. Every day is different in this role. My placement is split between attending practice and college. I look forward to caring for the patients in our practice and will be working hard to pursue my goal to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse in the future.
I have worked with our Vets4Pets family since leaving school at 16 years old. I love getting to meet clients' furry friends everyday in consultations and looking after them in theatre while monitoring their anaesthetics.
I am hoping to qualify as a RVN in summer 2023
I joined the Vets4pets family in September 2022 whilst on my Veterinary Care Assistant course which I have completed and I will be starting as a first year veterinary nursing student at Sunderland South Vets4Pets in September 2023. I enjoy all aspects of working in a veterinary practice, I have a key interest in emergency and critical care.
