Meet the team

---

Born in Stockholm, Sweden, I emigrated, with my family to Australia in 1979. It was here I nurtured my love of cricket, Aussie rules and vegemite! I grew up in the countryside and my father trained racehorses, so life was always surrounded by dogs, horses and obligatory stable cats.

After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1996 I worked in various parts of Australia as a mixed animal practitioner, especially black and white cows... Following a three year tour-of-duty working throughout the UK I discovered Lagos, whilst on holidays. It has been a love affair since then.

We are proud of what we have created with the Lagos Vet Clinic. We have managed to source all diagnostic modalities we need to provide a full integrated service for our pets and their owners.

When (rarely) not at work I occasionally have a chance to play golf or tennis, go rock climbing and share time with my fabulous mates, my lovely lady and our little son, Ziggy.

  I came over to Portugal last January and I have been a part of the LVC team since the following February, 2019.

Previously, I was working for 3 years in the UK as a vet. I am originally from Cyprus and I got my veterinary degree in Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2014.

My 2 cats came with me from the UK and they have been enjoying the Portuguese weather since!

My free time includes Brazilian jiu jitsu and baking for the gang at the clinic. 

I came over from London in 1988 as a holiday rep and have been here ever since. My two children were born and raised here but have since left, each on their own adventures.

I first came to the vet clinic in 2008 with my little terrier: Churchill and we got on so well I stayed and joined the team!

Lars and I combined strengths to set up and open the new Lagos Vet Clinic in 2011, and have enjoyed watching it grow over the years since then.

I now have 2 dogs, (including Churchill!) and a beautiful cat called Breakfast!

Life includes a great social circle and a little travel when possible!

I was born in Lisbon but have lived here in Lagos ever since I can remember, growing up surrounded by dogs. Cats came a bit later but since then I have had cats in my life, I cannot live without them. For now I only have 3 dogs and 2 cats.

This passion for animals made me decide to study for a Veterinary nurse degree and I graduated in 2016 at Escola Superior Agrária de Castelo Branco. Since then I have been a part of the team here at LVC.

I like to travel and spending time with my big family.

I was born and raised in Brazil, at the age of 19, I moved to Portugal on a student visa and entered Marine Biology at the University of Algarve. 

In 2020 I decided to take the technical course of veterinary assistant and first aid in pets, just to have more knowledge and apply in the care of my dogs and horses, but I fell in love with this clinical area and since then I couldn't see myself working in any another field! 

LVC was my internship, I've learnt a lot from everyone who works here and I'm happy to be part of this team! 

  I was born in Cork, Ireland where I lived in the city with my parents and older brother but no pets much to my dismay. I had a longing for a four-legged creature since I can remember and perhaps it was this long unfulfilled wish that nurtured my love of man's best friend.

I trained as a dog groomer in Cork and spent some time enjoying competing in national grooming competitions and taking part in workshops while working under, and learning from, a very gifted and experienced groomer.

I went on to open my first grooming parlour in Cork city before moving to Lagos in 2013 and joining the LVC team as the resident groomer.

I love spending my days surrounded by my fabulous four-legged friends and our little son, Ziggy.
