My family have always had a variety of pets as I was growing up, so I have always had a keen interest in animals and working with them.

I studied a Bachelor of Honours degree in Zoology for three years, graduating in July 2017. To further my education I decided to go travelling to Thailand, Australia and South Africa, where I worked on a pig and dairy farm, and volunteered at Australia zoo.

After my traveling experience, I finally decided that becoming a veterinary nurse was what I wanted to do.

I completed two weeks work experience at The Gables Veterinary Centre in 2019, and am now studying a Level 3 Diploma in veterinary nursing. I have settled well at the Gables and enjoy my time here with a fantastic group of colleagues, who are all willing to help me with my studies.

In my spare time outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy my horse riding lessons.
