Anita graduated from the University of Munich, Germany in 2000 and subsequently worked at the university small animal clinic for 6 months. She then spent two years at the University of Georgia, USA, where she conducted a research study on feline immunodeficiency virus. After this Anita completed a rotating small animal internship at Michigan State University.

Following her time in the USA she worked as the Fort Dodge Feline Fellow at the Feline Centre at the University of Bristol.

Anita has lived with cats since her childhood, which is why she developed a particular interest in feline medicine. Internal medicine has been her primary focus since the first clinical semesters in veterinary school and her special interest lies in feline infectious diseases and management of
geriatric patients.

She will start her FAB residency in October 2007 and is very much looking forward to meeting the University of Edinburgh's cat patients and their owners.
