Dr. Bräm schloss ihr Veterinärmedizinstudium im Jahr 2000 an der Universität Bern ab, worauf sie sich gleich im Rahmen ihrer Doktorarbeit und der ersten Verhaltensweiterbildung der STVV in der Schweiz auf die Verhaltensmedizin konzentrierte. Es folgte ein mehrjähriger Auslandaufenthalt in Lincoln (UK), bei dem sie mit Prof. Daniel Mills wissenschaftlich und in der Verhaltensklinik arbeiten durfte. Parallel dazu absolvierte sie eine Weiterbildung als Hundetrainerin, in Phytotherapie sowie in der manuellen Therapieform "Canine Bowen Technique". Zurück in der Schweiz forschte sie nebst der praktischen Arbeit im Bereich Verhaltensmedizin am Tierspital Zürich sowie in ihrer Privatpraxis im Bereich Hochsensibilität beim Hund. Nach ihrem 3-jährigen non-conforming Residency des ECAWBM(BM) in Verhaltensmedizin bestand sie Ende 2020 das European Board Exam und ist nun die erste Europäisch diplomierte Verhaltenstierärztin in der Schweiz. Sie arbeitet weiterhin in der klinischen Verhaltensmedizin am Tierspital Zürich und in ihrer Privatpraxis und arbeitet daran, die Forschung im Bereich "Sensory Processing Sensitivity" auch bei anderen Tierarten zu ermöglichen.

DVM, Diplomate ACVECC
I’ve been involved in the veterinary industry for most of my life, first as a vet nurse and later as a veterinarian. I became a boarded specialist in Emergency and Critical Care in 2010. Shortly thereafter, I left the United States for Australia to begin a career in academia at Murdoch University to fulfill my passion for teaching veterinary students, nurses, residents, and interns. Since 2020, I have been a part time teleconsultant for VetCT, where I am part of a global support network of specialists who provide clinical guidance to veterinarians with challenging cases. In 2022, I left academia and joined a private practice specialty hospital in Perth, Australia, where I have been building a brand new small animal ECC service. My primary research interests are circulatory shock and transfusion medicine. Other interests include fluid balance, electrolytes, acid-base, pulmonary physiology, physiology of fever, and extracorporeal therapies.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 kiddos, and small menagerie of 2 dogs, 1 cat, 1 rabbit, 1 goat, and 6 chooks.
