Andreea Luca

My name is Andreea and I love to work in a environment with animals but I enjoy working with people also. In my life I had many pets as rabbits, cats , dogs and never could decide which one is my favourite one, so I love them all. I'm studying Law, at University of Hull and at the same time I'm taking care of all the managerial side of our practice.
Leigh Quinn BSc (Hons) AnSc RVN
Head Veterinary Nurse
Leigh is a registered veterinary nurse and has worked alongside Liviu for several years prior to joining the team at Lucavet. She has worked in animal care since she was 14, starting out in the local rescue kennels. She has a cat called Winnie (after Mandela not Poo!) and a rescue dog Lil, whom was going to be put to sleep due to an orthopaedic condition. However, Lil copes really well on medication and even gives Winnie a run for her money! In her spare time Leigh loves swimming, cycling and running.
Megan Bateson

I was born in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and moved to Lincoln when I was 7. My love for animals sparked when I started my Level 3 Animal Management at Lincoln College and in 2018 I completed my BSC (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare Degree at Bishop Burton. In my free time I volunteer at a local school, collect vintage cards, watch movies and look after my elderly cat Tigger. I look forward to being a part of the team at LucaVet!
