She moved to Lincolnshire in 2004 and continued her career in mixed practice and in 2011 she undertook training in Veterinary Physiotherapy.  This led her on to taking her teaching qualifications and eventually lecturing at Nottingham University School of Veterinary Medicine.  There she enjoyed teaching students Canine and Equine Veterinary Physiotherapy until 2018.

I began my career in mixed practice in 2003 and qualified as an RVN in 2007. My experience has primarily been in small animal practice, with a particular focus on feline nursing, anaesthesia, and analgesia.

I also hold SQP status and additional qualifications, including EAT, IQA and IAG.

Since 2021, I have worked in veterinary nursing education. In my free time, I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Education. At home, I enjoy the company of my husband, son, stepdaughter, three dogs, three cats, a corn snake, and more horses than is probably healthy!
