My interest in emergency and critical care as a field of veterinary medicine was sparked after I took a position with an emergency hospital in the UK. After returning to Australia, I was inspired by the vision of Animal Emergency Service to provide world class facilities and medical care for pets at all hours of the day or night. Today I am one of the directors and have an incredible opportunity to work in a facility which practices the highest standard of patient care leading a dedicated and caring team of veterinarians.
