After graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2015, Stephanie spent four years working in general practice across both Asia and the UK. In 2019, she returned to the RVC to complete a small animal rotating internship, before moving to the University of Liverpool for a specialist internship in veterinary diagnostic imaging. Stephanie went on to complete her residency at the Small Animal Teaching Hospital and remained at the University as a Lecturer. She became a Specialist in 2025 and joined Chestergates Veterinary Specialists the same year. Outside of work, if there is wind, you will find Stephanie kitesurfing!
