Outside work Diana is also a qualified ski instructor and would love to hear about the exotic or not-so-exotic places you've been to ski!

Diana is a skilled surgeon and is undertaking further study in the field of surgery this year. She is also the proud owner of two gorgeous burmese kittens, who keep her well entertained in the evenings after work!

Caitlin has a keen interest in small animal internal medicine, in particular Anaesthesia & Analgesia, and Neurology. She would like to specialise eventually, but hopes to one day also spend time working for Vets Beyond Borders.

Outside of work, keen musical interest and plays alto saxophone. Also very active: runs and cycles regularly.
