As the go-to person who rescues animals, she can be called upon at any time of the day. “I decided that I wanted to become a vet when I was four years old,” says the German-born vet. “I never wanted to be a princess or an astronaut – becoming a veterinarian was my dream.” She spent her school holidays working with her uncle who was an equine veterinarian in Germany, and eventually began studying Veterinary Science at Glasgow University. Dr Koeppel started out working with small animals and horses, but soon realised that her passion was wildlife.2 pages : colour photoPDF fileen©2020 University of Pretoria, Faculty of Veterinary Science.
