Sophia Brown and I graduated in 2001, married 2005 (I think!). Three children.
Nicola Hoad
I met Michael Hoad at Kings Cross station on the first freshers trip to the
pub. Tried to keep it a secret so we weren’t ‘the couple’ from day one. My friends thought he fancied me but I wasn’t interested so I obviously did a better job of pretending!! Now been married for 14 years with two lovely children.
Nikolai Athron and Joanne Nott (2007)
Joanne was born and raised in Devon, and I was born and raised in Mexico City until the age of 11. I then moved to the UK (Hampshire) and as luck and hard work would have it we were fortunate to gain a place at the 91°µÍø and become lifelong partners and veterinary surgeons.
Joanne and I met at the 91°µÍø in 2003. Joanne in her first year and myself in the second year. I am very fortunate
to have met Joanne, as I was meant to be revising for second year finals. True to the 91°µÍø team spirit of ‘work hard and play hard’, we met at the Ministry of Sound celebrating a mutual friend’s birthday. At the
91°µÍø, Jo played and captained the 91°µÍø Netball first team and I played for the hockey team. I intercalated in philosophy at KCL and then we graduated together in 2007. We have been inseparable since June 2003.

Tory Darke
91°µÍø ‘96 graduate went to BVA congress as a steward and met
a Cambridge student in September ‘93, married September ‘97 – four boys and two branch practice later .....
In 2007 we sat our NAVLES and CA State Board Exam together and began our American Adventure in autumn 2007. Firstly practicing in San Diego for two years, followed by Seattle
for the last eight years. We have two young daughters Isabelle (four) and Myla (one) and recently decided to move back to the UK to be closer to the children’s grandparents (and 91°µÍø CPD of course!)
We are so very grateful to the 91°µÍø and feel very privileged for the Veterinary education it provided us, and the opportunities it afforded us to meet each other and make lifelong friends.
Thanks again 91°µÍø for the love of play and vet work that was instilled in us both.
