What I'm looking for

I seek a role providing high-quality clinical and emergency care for small animals, with opportunities to specialize in feline medicine, lead clinical teams, and continue professional development.

I am a veterinarian with 12 years of clinical experience focused on small animals, preventive medicine, surgery, and emergency care. I have worked in private clinics and hospitals, performing surgeries, dental prophylaxis, diagnostics, and owner education.

My background includes ICU/ER overnight technician responsibilities at a specialty hospital with skills in IV placement, venipuncture, CRI, anesthesia monitoring, radiography, and use of IDEXX equipment and Instinct software. I have supported emergency orthopedic and soft-tissue surgeries and assisted visiting surgeons on critical cases.

I pursue continual professional development through international courses and seminars in emergency and critical care, anesthesiology, dermatology, endocrinology, orthopedics, and feline-friendly handling to provide high-quality, compassionate patient care.
