Summary

DVM MRCVS GPCert Dermatology

With over 20 years of experience as a veterinarian in small animal practice and holding a Dermatology GP Certificate, I am eager to find a dynamic and flexible job that allows for deep engagement in the profession. Working in the UK since 2006 while commuting from Italy, I have honed my skills and developed a strong passion for continuous personal improvement. My commitment to providing exceptional care to animals is unwavering, and I am always ready to be present, even at a moment's notice. With the ability to easily commute from Italy, I am well-prepared to contribute my expertise and dedication to any veterinary team.

In possession of Settled Status. I can share code on request.
