Nia is the latest #MTJAV guest. After feeling disappointed by her first job in the industry, she started to travel around the world and ended up in New Zealand. Her amazing life story goes through Japan, Nepal, and Stewart Island. But we will also talk about Wales, her drawing (a passion that made her the front page of a kiwi magazine!), Sea lions storming football pitches and golf courses, and much more!

Some of the links you’ll find interesting in Nia’s podcast episode:

After qualifying in the US and working in equine practice for a few years, Miranda moved to Germany and joined a company where she diversified into robotics! Despite the life-changing move, she hasn't lost her 'veterinary' identity.

Miranda’s story of diversifying is becoming more and more popular in the veterinary industry, but it is still an extraordinary one. Her parents do not come from the veterinary world, but she chose veterinary because 'I love science and animals’. Perhaps the truest and most concise reason we do this job.

In this special episode, I talked to Daniella Dos Santos, one of the most well-known people in the British veterinary industry, about why there's a vet shortage.

We discuss the why. But we also provide evidence for those who choose not to believe it. We talk about the causes that have led us to today's situation.

In our talk, we explore Brexit, the pandemic, reasons for vets to stay or leave the profession and gender discrimination in the workplace.
