After 2 years in mixed practice in the UK I started working at the Hong Kong SPCA in 1992, where I discovered my passion for dermatology, and spent a period of time studying and training in the discipline overseas.

This led me to become a founder member, and former Vice President of the Asian Society of Veterinary Dermatology. I was the Asian Representative on the Executive Committee of the World Association for Veterinary Dermatology for 10 years. I also served as Honorary Secretary for the Sixth World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology which took place in Hong Kong in 2008.

I left the SPCA to work as a dermatology consultant for industry partners which involved frequent travelling within the Asian region to give lectures to veterinary surgeons. I also worked in private practice seeing referral cases for complex skin and ear cases, before returning to the SPCA in 2021.

Dermatology, which encompasses both skin and ear conditions, and Veterinary Education.

I enjoy working in a clinic where the welfare of my patients is the top priority.
