Shawnaa Desmond comes from a farming background in Co. Cork, which fostered a lifelong love of all animals large & small. This set her on her path to studying veterinary medicine. Shawnaa qualified from Warsaw University of Life Sciences as a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2020 and then returned home to Ireland to start her career. Shawnaa joined the Brittas Team in September 2025 and has brought with her a wealth of knowledge on skin & ear problems along with her surgical & medical expertise. In her spare time Shawnaa enjoys reading, socialising with friends & spending time with her Cane Corso’s; Maverick & Freya (pictured above) and her cat Blue. She loves to go home to Cork on her weekends off, continuing to help on the family farm. This girl never stops!
