I consider myself very fortunate to have found my passion in the field of equine dentistry relatively soon in my veterinarian career.
I have been working exclusively in equine dentistry since 2012, partly in one of Europe's leading referral clinics for all dental and head related diseases.
In 2017, I founded my own clinic in Hamburg, Germany and I teach and train other veterinarians and dentists in Germany and the United States.
I am a licensed member of the IAED (International Association of Equine Dentistry) and Certified Equine Dentist AED (Academy of Equine Dentistry). In 2020, I became a member of the newly established NCED (Nordic College of Equine Dentistry).
I have been riding horses since I could walk and I especially love going on multiday riding tours. Nothing is more beautiful than experiencing Iceland from horseback!
EDUCATION
I love to learn and like to keep an open mind. This is especially true for my field of interest. I have met and worked with many grand fellow equine dentists from all over the globe and they all have been on very different journeys to becoming professional equine dentists. Prospective veterinarians are by far not sufficiently familiarized with diseases and treatments of dental problems during their studies at university and standartized and regulated postgraduate studies are still very rare. It is up to the veterinarians themselves to seek adequate post graduate education. My training at the Academy of Equine Dentistry along with my associate years at the equine dental clinic in Gessertshausen make up for the major part of my education to become a specialized equine dental veterinarian. This journey has not stopped there though, i am constantly trying to stay informed about the latest updates in equine dentistry, as well as i am playing my part in pushing the science of equine dentistry. I also like to look into non-dentistry related areas of Equine health, like Orthopedics, Acupuncture and TCM, Equine Nutrition and especially Equine Welfare and Training. No horse is just his teeth...and i am still a Vet.
