@analungarini
Veterinary professional with expertise in animal care and compliance.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated veterinary professional with extensive experience in delivering medical and surgical care to small animals. My journey has taken me across private practices, emergency clinics, and public health agencies in both the UK and Italy. I pride myself on my strong communication skills, which enable me to effectively engage with clients and ensure their pets receive the best possible care. My commitment to ethical practice and continuous improvement drives me to face challenges head-on, always striving to enhance the quality of my work.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Senior Veterinary Inspector for the Animal and Plant Health Agency, where I collaborated with local authorities and organizations like the RSPCA to promote animal welfare. My experience in regulatory compliance and animal nutrition has equipped me with the knowledge to provide essential advice to government bodies on veterinary matters. Currently, I am expanding my skill set by studying for a Cybersecurity Certificate, which reflects my commitment to professional growth and adaptability in a rapidly changing world.
