“I always had pets growing up but dogs have always been my favourite, as I consider them to be life-long companions. There are two in particular who have always been very special to me: Bidu, a beautiful English Cocker Spaniel and my first ever four-legged friend, who was my companion from a young age; and Valentim (his friends call him Tim), my Miniature Schnauzer who, despite his 9 kg, has a very pronounced character, and is shrewd and devoted like no other.
Hence why I always wanted to work in this field from an early age, and where I feel fulfilled; this is where I can welcome new and more complex challenges every day, that require us to work together as a team in order to provide the community with an ever-higher quality of service.”
