I am a Veterinarian from Devon, qualified 11 years with experience in farm, equine, small animal and exotic patient care. After running a busy clinic I've taken a step into client education focusing on getting the right information to those that need it and are searching for help and advice from professionals online. My passion is people and their pets and supporting the wonderful bond that people share with their pets/ fluffy family members. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my 2 cats Felix and Arabella as well as Ollie the collie puppy that we've recently welcomed into our family. We're all in love with him (mainly Arabella the cat!) and he keeps us on our toes and very busy ! We're exploring Devon together and love to get outside. Ollie at 14weeks has even had a go at Kayaking with us and I think he's as big a fan of it as we are. We're going to have a ball teaching him all about life in Devon and growing his confident little personality!
