I graduated as a veterinary surgeon in 2020 from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. After working for a few months in a small animal practice in Greece I decided to move to the UK to experience something new . I have been working for Medivet for almost two years now mostly between three branches, one of them being Standish. I have an interest in internal medicine and ultrasonography.

Zophia Jones

Practice Manager

Zophia spends most of her time managing the practice and our wonderful team. Keeping everything running smoothly is more than a full time job, and on top of this Zophia is always looking for ways in which we can exceed our clients' expectations. Most of Zophia's time is spent behind the scenes supporting our team, and complements the veterinary staff. She particularly likes the diversity and challenges that occur daily, and helping owners and their companions. Outside of work Zophia is just as busy with her three boys, two dogs and cat. Unsurprisingly, the animals are easier to deal with.
