Kate Hagen-Frei
Kate Hagen has worked in many different institutions and accordingly with a broad array of species during her career. She therefore acquired a very wide range of experience in the field of zoo animal and exotic medicine. From giraffe to jelly fish, there will be hardly a species where she is not able to tell you a fun or fascinating anecdote from her previous work. She has a particular weakness for fish and all other water dwellers and has sought special training in this area in the US. She spends her free time caring for her aquaria, her various rodents and a huge variety of creative hobbies.
