Following graduation in 2001; and a first job in Shropshire mixed practice, treating “All Creatures Great and small” I decided to focus my clinical work down to small animals. I have built up a wealth of experience working in a number of small animal clinics, and hospitals across West Yorkshire.

 In 2010 I took on and attained the General Certificate in Small animal surgery, which has allowed me to expand my repertoire of procedures offered to clients, including a range of soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures.

 I joined Leeds Vets for pets in 2015, and having worked here for a number of years, took the opportunity to become Partner in the business in 2024.

As a partner I have continued to strive for further professional development, to which end I am enrolled on a PGCert in surgery. Being a partner I enjoy the freedom it gives to foster an environment where patients, clients and staff are treated with kindness and respect.

Mentoring and teaching is a part of the job I enjoy and I act at a VetGDP advisor for newly graduated vets in the practice. I have also volunteered as a visiting veterinary surgeon in the Peruvian Amazon and WVS training centre in India where I mentored local vets.

Outside of work; my love of the great outdoors has seen me take on many challenges; including The Yorkshire 3 peaks, The Inca trail and Trail Trekker long distance hike. I also enjoy cooking up a storm, running, glass painting, Spanish, meditation and yoga.

I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2018, and after spending the summer in Morocco working with the charity SPANA, looking after their working donkeys and horses, I started working at a mixed equine and small animal practice in North Yorkshire.

I spent 5 years there where I gained a love for all types of veterinary work; from emergency surgery to tricky medical cases, with one of my main interests being ultrasound imaging. I am currently working towards my certificate in Small Animal Medicine.

I have found that one of the most rewarding parts of my job is building close relationships with my clients and their pets. This helps make difficult and sad decisions easier as we are already trust each other.

I’m very lucky that I get to bring Ernie, my Border Terrier, to work, and will often be spotted walking him around Roundhay Park on a lunch break!

Outside of work I enjoy getting out into the countryside with Ernie, as well as trying to keep fit at park run and netball. All of this balanced with a passion for baking.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets at Leeds Vets for Pets!

I have worked at Leeds Vets4Pets since it opened in July 2010 and became a partner here in 2017. The best part of the job is nursing animals back to full health following their illnesses and surgeries. This allows me to build great relationships with clients and their pets. I have a particular interest in feline behaviour, physiotherapy & medicine and have gained certificates in Feline Nursing and Advanced Feline Behaviour with ISFM. I am currently the Cat Advocate of the clinic. I am currently owned by a Labrador called Sammy and two cats, a sulky black & white moggy called Mrs Norris and a terribly behaved hand-reared black kitten, Beetle.

From being young I had always wanted to be a veterinary nurse, so I begun working for Vets4Pets in 2013 as a Student Veterinary Nurse and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2015, from there I continued my studies and have just gained my Certificate of Veterinary Nursing in Emergency and Critical care. I enjoyed the varied days that come with being a nurse, and experiencing different cases we get every day.

I joined the team back in November 2024 as a veterinary care assistant and I am now training as a student veterinary nurse.

 Before joining the practice I studied Animal Management at Askham Bryan College which fuelled my passion for working with animals; I am excited to continue progressing my studies as I work towards becoming a fully qualified veterinary nurse.

 At home I have a group of wonderfully chaotic ferrets and my lovely dog called Luna who definitely all keep me on my toes! When I’m not in scrubs you’ll most likely find me out hiking, travelling, or planning my next adventure.

I joined Vets for Pets in September 2025; after spending three years working at Pets at Home, where my passion for animal care truly began to grow. I’m driven by the belief that every animal deserves to thrive, not just survive, and I love being part of a team that helps pets live their happiest, healthiest lives.

I have a special soft spot for small furries—especially guinea pigs! Getting to support these little characters and their owners is one of the highlights of my job.

 

Outside of work, you’ll often find me unwinding with music. I’m a big Taylor Swift fan, and I love playing my acoustic guitar whenever I get the chance.

Appointments with veterinary surgeons and nurses are available throughout the day. Outside of our normal working hours our clients have access to a dedicated veterinary emergency service at Leeds Birstall Vets for Pets which is open 24/7.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets!
