Sophie Collett

Sophie Collett

Head Veterinary Nurse

After finishing my A levels, I continued with my part time hairdressing and waitressing jobs until I decided to start my career with animals. I joined Medivet in October 2010 and Qualified in 2015. My favourite parts of being a veterinary nurse are being able to assist with anything gory such as abcess's and ear flushes, and I also love a perfect Xray!

I have a cat at home called Lottie that I acquired through work as a hand rear, a Jack Russel called Paddy & a bunny called Toffee. I have also taken home a huge amount of strays & wildlife over the years and found homes for them all. In my spare time I absolutely love travelling the world, scuba diving and spending time with my friends and family!

Abigail Cichosz

Student Veterinary Nurse

I was all set, packed and ready to study History at university!!! And then I realised that wasn't the right career path for me at all. So I decided to turn my life upside down and start again to pursue my dreams in the veterinary world so that one day I can become a qualified vet nurse and continue to help those furry and not so furry friends in need!

At home I have two very hyper German Shepherds (Serenity and Ellijah) and five very attention seeking cats (Dave, Willow, Zechariah, Charlotte and my hand rear Hope!)

Regional Director and Senior Partner

I grew up in South Africa surrounded by many pets and always wanted to be a vet. After qualifying I worked in a variety of practices and gained much experience before joining Medivet in 2007 as a Branch Partner at Medivet Kingsbury.

In 2013 I became a Senior Partner and am now a Regional Director in the Enfield and Dalston regions where I help manage the practices there. I enjoy walking our dog, the outdoors as well as running and in 2016 I completed an ultramarathon in the Gobi Desert.
