Vanessa is Head of Diagnostic Imaging at Rossdales Equine Diagnostic Centre. She rejoined the practice in June 2019 after spending the previous ten months as Senior Lecturer and Clinician responsible for the Large Animal Diagnostic Service at the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Bern, Switzerland. She became a Clinical Director in 2021.
Vanessa graduated in 2011 from the University of Bern and subsequently undertook internships at Rossdales and at a large equine hospital in Florida, USA before returning to Rossdales as an orthopaedic assistant in 2013. She has a keen interest in all diagnostic imaging modalities and is passionate about their use in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders in particular.
Vanessa successfully completed a residency in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging with the European College (ECVDI) under the guidance of veterinary specialists at Rossdales Equine Diagnostic Centre and Dick White Referrals. She became a Diplomate of ECVDI in February 2020 and was awarded RCVS recognised specialist status in March 2020.
