I am originally from Italy, where I studied at the University of Bologna before moving to the UK. I started working in a busy charity and then joined the Medivet family at Watford. I have always loved surgery, and achieved a Postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2015 and an Advanced PG Certificate in Orthopaedic surgery in 2019. Outside work I love travelling and sports in general such as climbing and kayaking. I also have a very sweet cat at home called Marcella, and a very cheeky dog called Bruno.

I qualified from Liverpool University in 2007 and went on to gain my Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Small Animal Medicine in 2014. I am one of the main consulting vets at Medivet 24 Hour Watford but also perform a lot of ultrasounds and imaging. I really enjoy talking to owners and helping their pets when they come for a heath check or if they're poorly. I know personally how much our pets are part of the family; my children and I dote on our two rehomed stray cats, Sebastian and Pulga.

I am currently completing a postgraduate certificate in surgery and enjoy continued learning and development. Outside of work, I like travelling, staying active, and spending time with my rescue dog, Elton.

The atmosphere is nice. Pets are given priority. However, when it comes to cost, they are much higher than others. There were a few unnecessary things that you had to pay for instead of taking action right away. That's why I changed my vet. In an emergency, several hundred pounds could be saved. In my opinion, it is expensive

Brilliant as always. Timely, friendly and efficient. My dog was having his six- monthly check up and the vet was calm and patient despite my pet being a little stressed about his jabs. Thank you as always.

I had an excellent experience at Medivet Watford. The team was professional, caring, and genuinely compassionate towards my cat Ginger. From reception to the consultation, everything was handled efficiently and with kindness. The vet took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt reassured about the treatment plan.
