Medivet The Vets Canvey Island

I qualified from the Royal Veterinary college in 2009 and have worked for Medivet since then. I have a keen interest in orthopaedics, reconstructive surgery and exotic animals including reptiles, birds and small furries. I have a welsh springer called Rupert and three naughty cats called Tiny cat, MK and Jasper.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 2015 from the Royal Veterinary College with a BVetMed. I am originally from the sunny island of Singapore. I am particularly interested in exotic animals, neurology and diagnostic imaging. I have a dog back in Singapore. Outside of work, I enjoy relaxing, watching TV and playing video games.

I graduated in 2008 and joined Medivet in November 2014, working across a selection of Medivet practices around the Essex area. Before joining Medivet I worked at a small animal practice in Poland. In February 2016 I became a permanent vet at Canvey Island. Outside of work I enjoy listening to progressive rock music and skiing.

I have always had an interest in animals and grew up on a farm in suffolk. After completing my A-levels in biology, chemistry, maths and physics, I decided that pursuing a career in the veterinary industry was the right choice for me.  I have worked for Medivet for over 12 years now. I have a British short hair cat called Manuel and a collection of tortoises including a giant african spur called Peewee. I do have a love for large breed dogs and had a bull mastiff until recently, but unfortunately we lost him to lymphoma.  

 I started working for Medivet in 2009, after achieving a Diploma in animal science at South East Essex College. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2013 after 3 years at college. I enjoy watching the operations and caring for the in-patients. I have a very keen interest in exotic and surgical nursing. I have a miniature dachshund called Finley, a corn snake called Ollie and a Hermann tortoise called Summer.   

I qualified in 2014 from South East Essex College where I received a level 2 and 3 in beauty therapy. Before joining the Medivet family, I assisted in a Big 5 conservation project in South Africa where we looked after orphan animals and assisted the vet with his daily duties. At home I have 3 gorgeous cats called Romeo and Juliet, and 2 goldfish.

In my spare time I enjoy adventurous activities and spending time with friends.

I have been at Medivet in 2014 after two years work experience at the Canvey branch.

I am now at college in my second year and I really enjoy it.

I have two german shepherds called Skii and Ghost which I love to walk

I first started Medivet in 2012 as a floating patient care assistant, and then became a permanent member of the team in Canvey.

I am now in my final year of training ready to qualify as a full-fledged veterinary nurse.

I have four rabbits called Treacle, Sammy, Maisie and Tommy, and one axolotl called Hannibal.

I have been a part of the Medivet team since 2015 and I really enjoy it. For two years I volunteered at medivet to gain experience and to see what it is like in the veterinary industry.

I am waiting to apply for college to start my veterinary nurse career. I have a west highland terrier called Buddy that I enjoy spending time with on my days off.  

I have a Level Three Extended Diploma in Animal Management at Writtle College, Chelmsford, where I achieved a distinction. Before joining Medivet, I had a day job working at Greggs and an evening job working as a kennel assistant, at a cancer referral vets. I love my role at Medivet, particularly being able to help with patient aftercare. At home, I have an eight year old Lurchur called Molly who is a rescue dog. Outside of work, I love netball and have played for eight years. I enjoy playing once a week with my local team.

I joined Medivet in 2003 and became a partner in the Southend practice soon afterwards. Since 2009, I have been a senior partner and have managed the Southend region.  I have slowly reduced my clinical work to concentrate on strategic clinical aspects for the group, as well as managerial duties, and I am enjoying all the challenges that this brings. I have a dog, a cat and a young child at home, and enjoy the outdoors, wildlife, off roading and martial arts in my spare time.

I graduated as a Veterinary Surgeon in Italy in 1999 and I have since worked in small animal first opinion practices. After being the clinical director of a 24/7 hospital near Florence for 3 years I moved to UK in 2007 to further improve my knowledge.

I worked in a very busy hospital in Merseyside in late 2007 and I joined VetsNow in 2009 where I progressed to District Vet role, overseeing a multisite practices in Hampshire. After several years spent in this role I had the opportunity to become the Senior Veterinary Surgeon and Lecturer at the University Veterinary Practice of Liverpool University.

I recently had a year gap in my career to look after my young family. I like to spend my spare time with my children and enjoy taking long walks in the countryside.

I have two rescue cats - Iolanda, who was found in a vending machine when she was a tiny kitten and Wanda who is named after the movie ‘A fish called Wanda’ as she appeared in our garden while we were watching this moving for the tenth time!

I joined Medivet in 2017 as a Regional Clinical Director for the Southend region. I am very excited to be part of the Medivet family.

I began working in veterinary practice in 1994, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in 1998.

I worked in clinical practice for 20 years, eventually becoming Head Nurse of a busy main centre of an 8 branch group. In 2014 it was time for a new challenge and I moved to the Medivet Group to become Area Manager of the Southend region.  I have never looked back.

I enjoy the varied role and working with the amazing regional team. My job can be challenging but it is also very rewarding and I look forward to spending many years within Medivet family.

I am the proud owner of a dog called Charlie and a cat called Tatty.
