After graduating from a university in Liverpool, Clare worked for the first part of her career in mixed practices in the Peak District, regularly seeing cows, sheep, horses, reindeer, water buffalo, deer, as well as dogs, cats and the small furries, gaining further qualifications in large animal practice. Having moved to Suffolk in 2012 she has worked in various small animal practices and spent some of that time teaching. Clare is also a qualified small animal acupuncture practitioner.

When not in work, she likes to go running, cycling or out walking with her dog and family. She enjoys travelling and spending time with her friends and also volunteers as a scout leader.

Emma first started seeing practice here in 2009 and hasn’t been far away since, keeping in touch throughout her studies and finally joining us as a vet when she graduated from Edinburgh in 2018. In her spare time Emma enjoys baking, the practice favourite being her white chocolate and caramel blondies. She also enjoys horse riding and has plans to pick up playing polo again, a sport she started whilst at university. As well as loving seeing all of her canine patients at work Emma also has a Border Terrier called Hector and a Spaniel called Ghillie at home.

Mihaela graduated in 2008 from Bucharest in Romania. After working for a few years in first opinion practice in Romania, Mihaela came to the UK in 2012 to see practice and after spending some time working in Essex and Norfolk she joined us here at Melton in 2017. She enjoys every aspect of first opinion practice but has a special interest in medicine and is currently studying to attain her Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in this field. She spends most of her free time with her family and two rescue rabbits, BB and Milo. Mihaela enjoys going to the gym, running, and is soon to start climbing.
