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 and raised in the Portimão area.

I`m a huge animal lover, growing up we always had dogs.  Nowadays I have a dog called Mason and six cats, Layne, Lazarus, Morgana, Soeki, Echo and Sparrow.

For a long time all I wanted to do was work with animals so I volunteer in the Portimão Municipal Kennel and I studied and qualified to be a Veterinary Assistant, after that I qualified for Animal Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.

I`ve been a part of the LVC team since January 2019.

  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.
