My unofficial professional history – like all vets it began with a veterinary degree to which I have added some extra letters after my name correlating to some seriously long hours, doing some crazy things! Taking opportunity, often when one door closes, means I have had the opportunity to have a varied career including university clinical practice, locum work, practice ownership, teaching, event management and my latest challenge some zoo consultancy work. Ever since I was a student I have been an AVA member and it has played an integral role in my professional life. Since I’m only half-way through my working life I wonder what else I will do with my veterinary degree and my relationship with the AVA?
