Cardiff Vets4Pets Llanrumney Vets

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal Vet College, London in 2002. I have always been surrounded by pets, currently two cats adopted from ARC the rescue charity and Janice the Jack Russell. I aim to treat all pets as if they were my own. in 2001 I passed the RCVS certificate in small animal surgery (CertSAS) . I am one of few vets in South Wales who hold this qualification and I am able to perform complex surgeries here in Cardiff for my own patients and for pets referred to me from other practices. I have always been a keen sportsman, in my earlier days I played professional rugby for Leicester Tigers, I currently play league basketball for the Caerphilly Salamanders.

I joined Llanrumney Vets4Pets in September 2017 and instantly felt welcomed by all the members of my team and the owners of our lovely patients. I have been working as a vet in Cardiff and the South Wales area for 10 years now and I have developed a strong link with many patients and their owners, becoming their family vet.

I strive to continue to develop my professional skills and all my knowledge is there to make your precious family members healthy and hence happy. I enjoy imaging and internal medicine cases but most of all I am keen to investigate and follow up any challenging cases that the new day brings me.

I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2010, and have been part of the team at Llanrumney Vets4Pets since Summer 2015.

I recently completed the ESVPS Improve qualification in Veterinary Nursing Anaesthesia and Analgesia which allows me to deliver an even higher standard of care to our patients. I also enjoy all other areas of nursing, especially surgical nursing and radiography.

Outside of work I play American football and like to spend time with my own cats Pinky, Perky and Smudge.

I joined the Llanrumney Vets4Pets team in November 2019 as a second year student nurse. I continued my studies throughout the pandemic and qualified as an RVN in 2022.

My favourite parts of the job are inpatient care and nurse clinics. I particularly enjoy working with owners whose pets have been advised to lose weight, and seeing the results we can achieve when we work together.

Outside of work I enjoy being outside, walking with my Jack Russell, Louie.

I joined Llanrumney Vets4Pets in April 2021 as a Veterinary Care Assistant. To work with animals is like a dream come true for me. I feel that my passion for animals allows me to give the best possible care for all our patients.

I understand it may be quite daunting to leaving your pets while they’re unwell, so I make sure while they’re with us they receive lots of extra cuddles to make them feel safe and at ease.

A year on, I am now starting college to study Veterinary Nursing with the help and support of this practice. 

The last year has given me a real insight and hands-on experience to what being a veterinary nurse entails. I have found this very useful as I have a better understanding of the type of career I am choosing. I have absolutely loved getting to know our patients and their owners this past year; I can happily say I am very excited for the next 2 years of studying! 

In my spare time I love to read, socialise and go on long walks with my Husky X Malamute, Nanook. We mostly love the beach, so you’ll find us there rain or shine.

I joined Llanrumney Vets4Pets in June 2023 as a Veterinary Care Assistant. I have previous experience working within the Veterinary industry, and honestly couldn’t see myself doing anything else!

I love coming to work everyday, and knowing I’m part of a team that matches my passion and energy for animal care and welfare makes it ten times better. A big part of my role is ensuring our patients get the best possible care whilst staying with us. This involves tasks such as feeding the patients, ensuring they’re taken on regular toilet breaks, and even laying on the floor to give them those all important cuddles. I’m happy to do anything that helps reassure our patients.

As of January 2025, I will be starting my Student Veterinary Nursing in college, and I can’t wait to expand my knowledge and (hopefully!) become a fully qualified Veterinary Nurse.

In my spare time I love to paint, hang out with friends and family, and get outdoors for walks and adventures with my Staffordshire Bull Terrier Sonny.

I recently joined the team in October 2024 after moving to the area from Bristol. 

I have always known that I wanted to work with animals and wanted to become a veterinary nurse as soon as I knew what it was! I graduated from the University of South Wales in July 2024 and becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse has been my biggest and proudest achievement yet. 

I am really interested in internal medicine nursing as well as behaviour and emergency and critical care, and hope to expand my knowledge and experience in these areas soon!

In my spare time I love spending time with my boyfriend and our Labrador going for walks and visiting family, as well as reading and spending time with friends.

I have lived in Llanrumney all my life and have worked at Llanrumney Vets4pets since October 2013. I enjoy every aspect of my role and I always strive to provide the highest level of friendly and approachable client care, with the view that our clients are just as important to us as their furry babies are.

I understand just how much your pets mean to you as I am mum to Ralph and Ruby. Ralph and Ruby are both Springer Spaniels - and outside of work these 2 keep me very busy!

Having grown up in Llanrumney I feel very much part of this community. As soon as I joined the team at Llanrumney Vets4Pets in 2016, I felt like part of the family.

I have 4 dogs along with two teenage boys who keep me busy and entertained. I always strive to provide excellent customer service and enjoy having a chat with you all in reception​. 

I look forward to meeting existing patients, and welcoming new ones!

I joined the Llanrumney team in 2024, having worked in veterinary since 2017.

Over the years I have worked across both first opinion and referral veterinary clinics.

I have a passion for rescue animals and welfare. I have always been surrounded by animals and have taken on many, including dogs, rats & tortoises. Currently I have a greyhound called Keira, who came from a track in Ireland. Outside of work, I enjoy sport, travel, painting and cooking. I also have a keen interest in conservation and the environment.
