Veterinarian Agustina Fitte's life turned around when she fell in love at first sight.
Originally from Buenos Aires in Argentina, where she received her degree at University of Buenos Aires, Agustina visited South Africa for the first time in 2012. She immediately fell in love with the country and its people and moved there a year later.
She moved to South Africa in 2013 to begin her MSc looking at the consequences of capturing and immobilising wild antelope. After completing her MSc degree, Fitte was offered a post as a clinical assistant at the Faculty of Veterinary Science, Onderstepoort in South Africa in 2017.
Agustina is currently completing a MMed Vet degree in wildlife diseases, which is her specialty, at the University of Pretoria.
Agustina is leading our Veterinary Study Tour to South Africa from 6-17 May 2025. Read more about the tour here.
