Biography

My main interests are thoracic, liver and urinary tract surgery, as well as minimally invasive surgery.

I graduated in 2006 from the Veterinary University of Milan. Since then I have worked in a referral center in Sydney (Australia), then Namibia (Africa with wild animals), Italy and Switzerland (Tessin). I then moved to United Kingdom for 6 years where I completed a small animal rotating Internship followed by a small animal surgery Residency at Dick White Referrals, specializing myself in small animal surgery.

I then worked as a consultant in soft tissue surgery in the same Referral Centre for two more years before moving again here back to Switzerland.

I also went to USA for few externiship in small animal surgery and imaging, precisely at the veterinary university of Colorado and North Carolina.

I have presented two posters for new surgical techinques in America and Europe, at international veterinary conferences, and I have lectured several times to teach veterinary surgeons, throughout Europe. I have also published articles in veterinary journals about surgical topics.

My hobbies are cross country ski, since I have done 10 years of competitions, horse riding and triathlons.

I have a horse with whom I shared 12 years of my life and won the british endurance national championship in 2014.

I have also been a simultaneous translator for the British equestrian federation for a year.

I have attended a laparoscopy course at the medical simulation centre at the Royal Human hospital in London to improve my minimally invasive skills.
