NAME:
Tanya Master
TITLE:
Assistant Senior Veterinary Surgeon (Hong Kong)
NATIONALITY:
British
ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION:
Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery (BVM&S), University of Edinburgh & Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS), UK.
CAREER PATH:
While studying at Edinburgh University I observed practice in a variety of veterinary clinics in Hong Kong (including the SPCA) and the UK. After completing my degree I moved back home and in September 2012 was lucky enough to be offered a position with the SPCA’s veterinary department.
VETERINARY INTERESTS:
Small animal internal medicine and exotic animals – in particular, snakes, lizards and chelonia.
REASONS FOR WORKING AT THE SPCA (HK):
There is rarely a quiet day at the SPCA and I enjoy and relish the opportunity to see and learn from the diverse caseload. I find the welfare work such as our Cat Colony Care Programme (CCCP) very rewarding and feel privileged to have the chance to be a part of it. The SPCA also has so many great vets with special interests in different aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, allowing me to further my knowledge in a variety of areas.
PETS:
A domestic shorthair cat called Tiger, adopted from the SPCA 2 years ago. He is undoubtedly the world's most handsome cat, but then I might be slightly biased!
INTERESTS:
Outside of work I spend a lot of time playing sports; in particular tennis and golf. Otherwise I enjoy a relaxing night in, with TV, good company and lots of food!
