MA VetMB MRCVS
Siân was your typical kid who loved animals and science, and so spent most of her teenage years on farms and in kennels to realise her ambition of going to vet school. Graduating from Cambridge in 2011, she has worked in independent small animal general practice ever since. Her passion in veterinary medicine is contextualised care; ensuring the best welfare for pets and their owners by seeing every family for their individual circumstances, knowing that the goal is happy healthy pets at home.
Siân is owned by a cat and two small children, but absolutely not her husband. She loves yoga, dressmaking, being outdoors and strong female leads in books and film.
