Falmouth Vets4Pets

I graduated from Edinburgh (Royal Dick Veterinary College) in 1992. I have been privileged to have worked in a wide variety of different types of small animal practice, including RSPCA, university first opinion and private practices. I have a passion for giving the best client care that I can and strive to offer the level of service that I would want for my own pet. I am incredibly fortunate in working with a fantastic team who are key in helping me deliver that vision. The opportunity arose to become a joint venture partner with Vets4Pets and now I am turning my dreams into reality. In my spare time I enjoy coxing pilot gig boats and am a member of Falmouth Gig Club. Pilot gigs are beautiful 32 foot long wooden boats that are rowed by a crew of six and are so named because they would take pilots out to incoming vessels 'back in the day'. Nowadays they are used for racing or exploring the hidden creeks of the Fal. I unwind by reading and gardening.

I have been nursing animals for nearly 20 years and still feel very passionately about all aspects of my job. I hold a very keen interest in nurse clinics and am hoping to build these up within the practice.

Outside of work I have a busy family life with my husband, two children, two dogs, two rats, one rabbit and 2 horses.

I have been a registered veterinary nurse for 13 years and enjoy all aspects of working in a busy small animal practice. 

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and little boy and we take long walks with our two collie dogs Charlie and Thea.

I am a qualified veterinary nurse and have been nursing for 15 years. I live in St Ives with my husband and our two beautiful children.

I own two dogs: Roxy (Jack Russell Terrier) and Louis (Hungarian Vizsla) and a horse called Brennex. As a family we love to cycle and enjoy kayaking around the lovely Cornish coastline.

I have previously worked both as medical and veterinary receptionist. I also bring knowledge and skills from the years spent supporting bereaved families and have trained with Ally Pet Loss service in order to enhance the support for owners experiencing the loss of a pet.

At home I have a young spaniel called Daisy who loves to walk on the dunes. I also have a white cat called Conan; he was a bit scared and quite vicious, but with love and patience he now sits on my lap, especially when I am doing crochet!

I moved to Cornwall from Birmingham 5 years ago and I love living by the sea, although I still get slightly freaked out by seaweed! I live with my son who I am told is a mini-me. I have recently qualified as an ANA (animal nursing assistant) which is great for me because as much as I like chatting to our clients, I like to spend time with our patients too. 

I have a very naughty cat who wakes me up at 5am most mornings, although I wouldn't change him (maybe his bodyclock...!). When I am not at work I am more than likely outdoors, walking or riding my bike. This summer I am determined to master surfing.

I come from a background of working with adults who have learning difficulties- so this was a big change! I'm really pleased to be working in a role where I meet lots of different animals. At home I have two budgies who keep me entertained with their comical ways. One is called Christopher Squawken and the other is Ebrenne, which is Cornish for Sky.
