Hi, I'm Anna, and I'm excited to be joining the team at Pride Referrals as a Surgical Intern.
I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2015 and have worked as a small animal vet in my home county of North Yorkshire ever since. Throughout my career I've worked in both private and charity practice, treating a wide range of species from wildlife to much-loved household pets. More recently, I spent several months working as a vet at an American university in the Caribbean, which was a fantastic experience that broadened my clinical skills and gave me an insight into veterinary education outside the UK. And I got to swim with Sea Turtles!
These varied experiences have helped shape my interests in both teaching and surgery, with a particular interest for orthopaedics.
Outside of work, I have a 16-year-old domestic shorthair cat called Fury (as in The Night Fury, not Tyson Fury!). I originally looked after her for a week while her owners were on holiday... seven years later and she's still here!
When I'm not at work, you'll usually find me exploring the countryside, learning to play the piano, or taking part in a variety of sports, with football being my favourite.
I'm excited to explore Derbyshire and meet the clients and patients at Pride Referrals. I hope to make the most of this opportunity to learn from the specialist surgical team while further developing my surgical knowledge and clinical skills.
