Dr. Sophie Scotter B.Sc., M.Sc., B.V.M.,M.R.C.V.S.

Sophie has recently relocated to Vancouver Island from the UK, where she qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2022. Prior to embarking on a career in veterinary medicine, Sophie obtained her degree in Zoology from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, with a focus on marine mammal conservation.

Her fieldwork for her dissertation on humpback whales brought her to the wild coast of the Great Bear Rainforest back in 2013, and she has longed to return to BC ever since. Sophie also spent 3 years living and working in Arctic Norway before vet school, conducting whale and walrus research in Greenland and Svalbard with the Norwegian Polar Institute.

In her spare time, you will find Sophie outdoors with her partner Nick, either hiking, paddleboarding or sipping coffee at their local beach. They hope to get a four-legged friend to join their family very soon!
