I started my Veterinary career in Montenegro where Montvet is the biggest and busiest clinic in the country, located in Podgorica, the capital city. There I gained a lot of clinical experience in pretty much every aspect of companion animal medicine and since there are no referral clinics in Montenegro we had to solve every case unassisted.
That experience helped me find a job and move to New Zealand where I worked as a Vet Tech/Nurse. Initially I was employed in a busy companion animal clinic and we worked mainly with cats. I was a Head Nurse there and didn't take on any patients, but I was able to instruct younger and less experienced Vets and help them manage more complicated cases. Later I transferred to a referral clinic for Exotic animals, also as a Nurse, where I learned a great deal on exotic animal medicine. That clinic also practices medicine according to BSAVA Gold standard so we were performing veterinary medicine to the highest standard.
Afterwords I decided to move back to Serbia, my home country, and I found employment here in Pančevo in a small companion animal clinic. Shortly after I started, there was a need for a Head Vet due to the current Head Vet leaving and I was offered the position. So I am now successfully running the clinic.
