Valentina graduated from the University of Bologna (Italy) in 2015. After working for a few months in Italy, she moved to the UK in 2016 and began working in general practice.

She also volunteered in charity clinics in Malta and Thailand. Over the years, she developed a special interest in soft tissue surgery and dental procedures, which led her to do a Dentistry and Oral Surgery Internship at The Ralph Veterinary Referral in 2022, followed by a Residency, which she completed in July 2025.

In her spare time, Valentina enjoys practicing yoga, running, and travelling to Italy to visit her family and her dogs, Luce and Bianca.
