Hi, I’m Mia and I recently joined the team at Ace Vets in August 2024 . I have always had a deep love for animals and knew from a young age I wanted to work with them, having grown up with many rescue cats and a dog . I have previously studied Animal Management at college where alongside I volunteered at a local animal sanctuary. At the sanctuary I cared for a wide rage of animals from exotics to farm yard and small animals. I would like to continue to enhance my knowledge and skills working with animals and progress into veterinary nursing.

Hello, I’m Candice! I joined Ace Vets in January 2025 after spending over 18 years working in the Estate Agency industry. While I enjoyed that career, my true passion has always been caring for animals—and giving our visiting dogs plenty of snacks while they wait to see our Head Vet!

As a proud dog mum of two, I knew it was time to return to the veterinary world, where I truly feel at home. Working for such a wonderful independent vet practice has reignited my love for the industry and made me genuinely enjoy coming to work every day.

When I’m not at the clinic, I love spending time with my furbabies and looking after my family. Life is always busy with two teenage boys! I also enjoy shopping, eating out, travelling, and taking long country walks with my dogs.

Since obtaining my degree in 2009, my professional path has taken me through a variety of referral clinics in Rome and Sicily, experiences that culminated in my decision to relocate to the UK in 2012.

Shortly after my arrival, I joined CHAT as a veterinary surgeon, and in the subsequent years, I embarked on a Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery, an endeavor I completed with accolades in 2017.

With a deep-seated passion for orthopaedics, I took the entrepreneurial leap in 2018 to establish my own venture, providing freelance orthopaedic services to various veterinary practices. My commitment to professional growth has led me to partake in several advanced orthopaedic and surgical courses, furthering my skills and surgical acumen. This pursuit of excellence has taken me to a number of leading referral hospitals throughout Europe and the United States.

In 2022, I embraced the challenge of opening my own veterinary practice in Essex, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in my career.

Away from the operating table, I delight in exploring new destinations, indulging in the art of cooking, and relishing the companionship of my beloved rescue dog and cat.

I graduated from the University of Bulgaria in 2019 with a Master’s degree in Veterinary Medicine. After completing a year of postgraduate work in Greece, I moved to the UK, where I became a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS).

With over four years of clinical experience, I have developed a strong interest in diagnostic imaging and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Diagnostic Imaging. I particularly enjoy abdominal and cardiac ultrasonography, and I am passionate about using imaging to support accurate diagnosis and deliver the highest standard of patient care.

I also enjoy soft tissue surgery and take great pride in providing compassionate and thorough care for all my patients.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my cat, Nathaniel, as well as travelling and exploring London.

Hi, Im Francesca and I am currently studying an animal care course at college. Growing up I have had plenty of reacue animals including horses, cats and dogs which I loved helping to care for and I knew I wanted to be a veterinary nurse from a young age, so I plan to continuing my learning next year with a Vet nurse apprenticeship.

Hi, I’m Izzy and I recently joined Acevets in October 2025. From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a vet nurse as I always had the compassion towards any animals. I’m currently studying animal management in college which alongside the course I’m doing work experience here at acevets. This allows me to have a range of skills and knowledge which can help benefit me in the future!! Away from work experience, I have 3 cats all named after chocolate (Rolo, Buttons and Freddo).
