Valentina graduated in veterinary medicine from the University of Turin, Italy, in 2007 and worked in mixed and farm animal practices for 3 years, before undertaking a farm animal residency and obtaining the Diploma for the European College of Small Ruminant Health Management in 2014. She subsequently completed a mechanical engineering PhD program jointly between Moredun and Heriot-Watt University. She has worked as senior clinician in disease investigation and surveillance at the University of Glasgow. She is now a veterinary consultant for the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, working with the European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD) and the Virtual Learning Center (VLC) global as capacity development and learning specialist.
