RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery

Veterinary Experience: I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2005, after 9 months in mixed practice, I joined MVP. In 2011, I gained the RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. I am very fortunate to be able indulge by love of surgery at MVP. I perform a wide range of operations from routine neutering procedures, complex orthopaedic (bone and joint) and soft tissue reconstructive surgeries. I am lucky to have the privilege to care for so many animals, ultimately treating their disease, injury or illness so that when they have recovered, they can continue to live their lives as normally as possible. I was given the position of the practice’s Head of Surgery in 2014, to ensure we always strive to deliver the best possible surgical standard. I became a director in 2015. In 2016 I was approved as a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery.

Interests: I am a vet because I am a true animal lover. I have been told, on occasion that, I talk more to the animals then people! Currently, I have 2 naughty bengal cats ‘Taxi’ and ‘Ted’ whom rule our house and I think, half the neighbourhood. I also have 2 of the most wonderful dogs (I am obviously not biased at all). A border collie named ‘Cat’, my baby, who loves her tennis ball and to come running with me. I also rescued a seriously injured Saluki named ‘Mouse’ aka 'The Queen’  (Princess status just would not suffice) in 2009, she is adorable and now fully recovered from both her cruciate ligament (knee) surgery and skin wound reconstruction (ironic how she found me!), indulges herself with affection from everyone she meets.

Activities: There is nothing I enjoy more than to entertain friends and family with my love of cooking. I have been very fortunate with my partner to have travelled to many beautiful countries around the world. I love to explore new places and meet new people, plus I always manage to find a street dog somewhere that needs a little veterinary attention. I keep fit by swimming and running with my greatest personal achievement being completing the London Marathon in 2014.
