Learning Partner
I qualified as an RVN in 2008 and worked in a variety of practices, before taking a break from clinical practice and spending a year lecturing in animal management and anaesthesia at a nurse training college. Following this, I joined CVS as an RVN in a busy general practice, before moving into the training team full time in 2016 where I now develop and deliver a variety of courses on clinical and non-clinical topics. Outside of work, I try to be at the local field archery club, or to relax at home with my collection of cats, chickens and tortoises – but I am now mostly running around after a busy toddler!
