Folkestone Companion Care

From Longford in Ireland, I qualified at University College Dublin. Moving to England I opened the Companion Care Surgery in Ashford in 2007. My particular interest is internal medicine.

I have a rescue cat from Gibraltar called Bambino who very much makes himself at home whenever he visits the surgery, and a naughty little schnauzer crossed border terrier named Raya who comes to work every day and keeps us all busy with her cheeky antics.

I graduated from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Kosice in 2017, joining the Folkestone team straight from school. I was born and raised in Hong Kong and whilst things are very different, I love every minute of it.

My particular interests lie with soft tissue surgery/orthopaedics and I aspire to obtain my qualifications in the coming years.

I joined the team at Folkestone Companion Care in 2020, after working at the Ashford branch for the last 5 years. 

I have a particular interest in feline medicine and I hold a certificate in feline practice. I also have an elderly rescue cat of my own called Herbert.

Outside of work I enjoy being creative; I come from a musical family and love playing the violin.

I graduated from Warsaw University of Life Sciences back in 2018. Currently, I am working towards my General Practitioner Advanced Certificate in Small Animal Medicine.

I like cooking and enjoy Indian and Chinese cuisine

I started working in practice in 2003 & qualified from The College of Animal Welfare in 2006. I have worked in various small animal practices including a referral hospital, am qualified to train student nurses & have an ILM Level 3 Certificate in Leadership & Management. My interests include nurse clinics, nurse training & anaesthesia.

At home I have two cheeky chihuahuas called Nacho and Ernie. In my spare time I enjoy reading & spending time with family & friends.

I have loved animals all my life & been involved with vet nursing since 2011, joining Companion Care Vets in 2015. My particular interest is neo-natal care.

I have a few animals of my own including three miniature ponies, a gorgeous Great Dane, two sphynx cats called Freddy and Kruger and some fish.

My spare time is spent horse riding & spending time with my family and animals.

I started working in practice in 2002, qualifying in 2005, and have worked with small animals, exotics and larger species (including zoo animals). I enjoy all aspects of my job, particularly diagnostic imaging and nursing medical cases, and have trained veterinary nurse students and lectured at a local veterinary nursing college.

I returned to work in February 2017, joining Companion Care after maternity leave, and spend my free time looking after my daughter Ava, (and my husband!), walking my two dogs, Hetty & Stanley & riding/competing my Horse Don.

I have been working in practice since 2004 and qualified from Hadlow College in 2010. I joined the Companion Care team in October 2018. I love all aspects of my job but I have a particular interest in Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy in which I hope to gain a qualification in the future.

At home I have a working Cocker Spaniel called Seth, a Miniature Dachshund called Harvey, a horse called Louis and Lenny the naughty donkey.

In my spare time, I enjoy riding/competing with Louis, agility training with Seth and of course socialising with family and friends.

I joined the team in March 2018. From a young age, I have always been passionate about working with animals. I am looking forward to starting my training to become a Vet Nurse.

My interests are reading and anything Disney.

I started my nursing career at the beginning of 2018 at the University of Brighton. 

I joined Companion Care Folkestone in October 2021.

I have a interest in specialized Hospital Nursing and Emergency Nursing.

I spend my spare time with my dog Floki and playing Rugby.

Debbie joined the Companion Care team in March 2019.

Growing up, Debbie's family always had German Shepherds but now, she has a beautiful Maltese called Dolly.

I joined the team in August 2020. Animals have a very dear place in my heart to be a part of taking care of your fluffy family is a priveledge.

In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with friends and family and have a passion for Vintage Jazz music.
