I qualified from Royal Veterinary College, London in 1995, and joined Highgate Veterinary Clinic in 2001.

I spend most of my time in the surgery dealing with the small animal side of the practice – anything from hamsters to Great Danes! I do farm work when I am on call, or if things get busy. I am also in charge of veterinary nurse training.

I love the variety of my job and especially enjoy talking to clients, operating, eyes and small furries.

I keep my colleagues amused with tales of my chaotic home life, helping my husband do up our house whilst caring for my daughter and various pets.
