I graduated from The University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, in 1998. After a short time in practice I came to England to work first at the PDSA in London before moving into mixed practice in Norfolk.

In 2001 I joined a practice in Salisbury where I was in charge of the surgical department. In 2007 I joined Companion Care and opened the Winchester vet surgery.

Whilst enjoying all aspects of surgery I particularly like orthopaedics and reconstructive surgery. After the surgery has grown so well over the last 6 years I decided to open a second practice in Andover with 2 colleagues.

At home I like to spend time with my wife and 2 children. We have a Labrador called Josie, and a cat called Lillie.

I graduated from Bristol University in 2000 and have worked in the local area for a number of years. I enjoy all aspects of General Practice but have a particular interest in Internal Medicine.

When I am not at work, I enjoy going to the gym, Latin American and Ballroom dancing with my husband, Mark, and spending time with my two sons. I have an elderly Spaniel, Marley and a rescue cat Jake.

I enjoy guiding our diploma and degree students through their nursing journey and helping them to develop their practical skills. I also have a keen interest in orthopaedics and rehabilitation therapy having completed my advanced diploma in 2019 and most recently a certificate in physiotherapy.

I have always had an avid interest in animals, so after leaving school I completed my national diploma in Animal Management, at Sparsholt College. I have been in practice ever since and I completed my Veterinary Nurse training in 2013. Along the way, I rescued a Plummer Terrier called Riley in 2010 and my Miniature Dachshund called Minnie came into my life in 2016.

In my spare time I enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, especially to the beach and spending time with friends and family.

I joined Companion Care for my veterinary nurse degree placement year in 2019 and then stayed on once I qualified in 2021.   I have since developed an interest in radiography and surgical nursing and hope to continue my nursing education in these subjects. I have a very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer called Olive, who you may see or hear while at the practice. At home you will find Olive either running around playing with her toys or snoozing upside down while I enjoy going to the gym.

I started at Winchester Companion Care in January 2022 as a student vet nurse. After graduating the following year I was super happy that they kept me on as an RVN.

I love everything about being a nurse but particularly enjoy consulting and have a keen interest in providing advice about nutrition and neutering, about which I like to keep my knowledge up-to-date with the most recent medical evidence. 

My other career is as an accountant, so when I'm not working at Companion Care, I'll be happily working away at a spreadsheet.

In my days off I like to go out on my motorbike, a Yamaha R7 called Liz! And spend time with my ginger cat, Colin, or my fluffy rescue dog, Lunar.

In a previous life, Anna was a financial accountant, but came to veterinary while looking for a career change into something which could help others. She used to rescue rats, has owned a pony, but currently just have one crazy dog, Lunar.

In her free time she loves long walks with Lunar, crafts, reading, and spending time with friends.
