I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2015 with a BSc in Veterinary Nursing and Bioveterinary Science. After university, I made a permanent move to the South West where I’m based. I have previously been on BVNA Council where I founded the British Student Veterinary Nursing Association (BSVNA). I started at Langford Veterinary Services as a feline nurse, then made the move to Highcroft and progressed to Deputy Head Nurse. I moved into my role as a Learning Partner in October 2021 and have since completed my Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE).
