Johanneke qualified as a Veterinarian in 1997 at the Onderstepoort Campus of the University of Pretoria in South-Africa. She chose early on to be a companion animal Veterinarian and is still loving it after 25 years. Animal welfare is her passion, and she is fascinated by the human-animal bond. Johanneke never gets tired of watching pets and people enriching each other’s lives and loves being able to play a part in that “magic”. She considers herself to be a good “all-rounder” and aims to continue to learn and grow professionally until the day she retires.
