Bio
I was born and raised in a lovely family of five, in Thessaloniki, Greece. In 2010 I graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. For the next ten years, I had been practicing as a Small Animal Vet in Greece.
In 2018 I suffered from a condition called 'Golfer's elbow' in both arms, a type of tendinitis that caused a lot of pain. The successful treatment of my condition with physiotherapy made me realize I wanted to learn more about this field and apply this knowledge to animals. In order to fulfill my dream, I applied for a course in the UK. Unfortunately, I was not accepted on my first attempt, so I decided to move to the UK and try again.
Since January 2020, I live in Hastings, East Sussex, and I work as a Small Animal Vet Surgeon at Sussex Coast Vets.
In September 2020, after applying for the second time for the same course, I was accepted and started an MSc course in Veterinary Physiotherapy at Writtle University College.

Exercise and having a healthy diet are essential in my everyday life. For all Veterinary Professionals, our body is a principal tool for our job, that is why I do my best to keep it in the best condition. That also helps me keep balanced mental health and well-being.
