I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1999 after training in South Yorkshire, and joined Highgate Veterinary Clinic in 2004. I provide help and support direct to pet owners and farm clients from the front desk and help the other nurses with nurse appointments including dental checks, flea checks and general health checks.

I am particularly interested in animal behaviour and am able to offer ‘first step’ advice on behaviour problems. I also run our popular ‘Puppy Encounter’ evenings of fun and socialisation for young puppies.

Independently of the practice I run the “Good Start” Puppy and Dog Training Classes. These classes teach canine good manners in a fun and relaxed way, to help pet dogs become good companions that fit in with family life and are well behaved in public.

At home I have two long suffering dogs that have had the various nursing, behaviour and training techniques practised on them.
