I qualified from the University of Glasgow in 2009 and have worked in a wide variety of practices in the last 15 years. Although I have worked with farm animals, horses and exotics, I most enjoy treating small animals. At the moment, I work in charity practice and I also do telemedicine consults.
This fits in well around our family life, which is often super busy with our 4 year old daughter and her baby brother. They love to stay active so we are usually outside enjoying walking, biking, picnics and anything nature!
