Born and raised in Russia, I grew up surrounded by cats and developed a deep connection with them from a young age. My love for animals has always been a part of me, and becoming a veterinarian felt like a natural step in following my childhood dream.
I moved to Spain to pursue my veterinary studies, spending six wonderful years in sunny Valencia. During my time as a student, I discovered the existence of feline-only practices and spent several summers doing placements in these specialised clinics. I was impressed by the higher quality of care for cats in these environments and how comfortable both the patients and their owners seemed.
After graduating from Cardinal Herrera University in 2021, I was eager for a new challenge and decided to move to the UK. I spent several years working in Norfolk at a very busy first-opinion practice. While I enjoyed working with various species, I always found myself most excited when seeing cats. When I felt it was time for the next step in my career, I discovered that the London Cat Clinic was hiring. I knew instantly that it was my dream job—I had known about the practice since my student days and had always hoped to work here one day! The quality of care and the dedication of each team member are truly incredible, and I feel so fortunate to be part of the amazing TLCC family.
The best part of my job is witnessing the unique bond my clients have with their cats and using my skills to help my patients live long, happy, and healthy lives. I am particularly interested in imaging and surgery and am working towards a GP certificate in feline medicine.
Outside of work, I try to stay active. In my free time, you can find me running along South Bank, in a hot yoga class, or at the gym. I also love to travel and do so every time I get a chance.
