I have been a Veterinary nurse for over 15 years, working in a range of clinics from referral hospitals to emergencies and sole charge. Having a keen interest in nutrition, I completed my canine and feline certificate in nutrition in 2016, with one of my main roles being teaching students in all areas of Veterinary Nursing and especially on the best nutritional care for not just healthy but also sick animals in hospital. For the last 10 years I have been involved with training student Veterinary nurses and have recently moved into teaching full time, nutrition is an area that I feel is often overlooked, with many people not understanding the importance and how it can dramatically affect their pets and patients life. I am passionate about patient care, utilizing this alongside my experience and knowledge to pass this on to students to help them improve their nutritional care within their clinic and to their clients.

Seit meiner Kindheit habe ich davon geträumt als Tierärztin für Vögel und Reptilien zu arbeiten.
Entschlossen, diesen Traum zu verwirklichen, absolvierte ich von 2008 bis 2014 mein Tiermedizinstudium an der Veterinärmedizinischen Fakultät Leipzig.
2014 begann ich mein Promotionsstudium an der Klinik für Vögel, Reptilien, Amphibien und Zierfische der Ludwig-Maximilian-Universität München. Wobei ich meine Dissertation "Die virtuelle Reptilienklinik - ein E-learning-Tutorial" ab Oktober 2015 als externe Doktorandin fortsetzte und 2017 abschloss.
Um noch tiefgreifendere Erfahrungen in der Exotenmedizin zu sammeln, arbeitete ich von 2015 bis 2019 als Assistenztierärztin in der Vogel- und Reptilienpraxis Dr. Britsch in Karlsruhe.
Im Mai 2019 habe ich mich an der Nordsee niedergelassen und bin seitdem selbstständig in meiner Exotenpraxis Nordfriesland tätig.
