When I first read her CV, I knew that we had to create a role for her within the team, as she was just too good a fit to let go.
She wrote that she has a particular interest in internal medicine, ultrasonography and imaging. She enjoys the contact and communication with clients and the care of their pets, and building long-standing client relationships based on trust, empathy and effective communication.
What could be more aligned to the principles with which we run The Mewes Vets, and especially our one-pet-one-vet policy that is so much appreciated by our clients?
She went on to say that she could offer in-depth knowledge and experience in all aspects of small animal first opinion practice and was looking for a friendly, welcoming and caring team, which is supportive in developing and sharing further knowledge while enjoying a happy and nurturing working environment. Again – it’s a snap!
She is about to complete the Certificate Diagnostic Imaging (CertGP), demonstrating her commitment to continuously improving her skills, for the benefit of her patients.
We have thoroughly enjoyed her good sense, friendly demeanour and commitment to her colleagues, working as part of the team. She is a fantastic addition to that team.
She qualified in Berlin in 2004, but immediately settled in the UK, where she has worked ever since, most recently nearby since 2017.
Her great joys are her family and friends; camping and wildlife; hiking and canoeing; music and reading; renovation, sewing and pottery; and growing her own vegetables. We all shared the glut of grapes that her vine obligingly produced this autumn.
Her next project is to learn to use our new cardiac ultrasound probe, so that we can diagnose and monitor heart disease in our patients more easily, without referral necessitating a long journey and, most importantly, less expensively. She has always been fascinated by diseases of the heart, and will now be able to bring that understanding to all patients with murmurs or arrhythmias.
