I have been working in the veterinary industry since 1998.

I have gained my knowledge and valuable experience through working at several veterinary practices and veterinary hospitals.

Having worked with both equine and large animals I have decided that my vocation lies with small animals.

I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2001 and still regularly attend continuing educational meetings to update and improve my knowledge.

My special interests at Fairfield are to run the obesity clinics and to help advise on behavioural training including the clicker method!

Outside the practice I spend a large amount of time looking after my own pets, Emma, Fleur and Hammy. These have all been acquired through my work at various veterinary practices.

My Golden Retriever, Emma, was brought in to be euthanased at the age of 4years! She is currently alive and well with me and is now in her eleventh year.

My Siamese cat, Fleur, required a considerable amount of nursing care and treatment as a kitten but fortunately has matured well enough at the age of 3years to be medicine free!

"Hammy" the hamster was brought into the Fairfield practice last year after a client found him wandering down the busy road A47.
