Wycombe Marsh Vets4Pets

I started my veterinary career in Norfolk in 1991 doing both farm and companion animal medicine. I have been working in Buckinghamshire for the last eighteen years with companion animals as an all round general practitioner. I am delighted to have the privilege to lead the exceptionally committed team at Companion Care High Wycombe. At home I am supported by my family; four children, my partner and a rescued Dobermann, Peeta who has a very positive attitude to life! I look forward to meeting new and existing clients and helping wherever possible. Please always feel free to ask questions.

I was born and raised in High Wycombe. After graduating from Cambridge University in 2005, I have always worked in small animal practice. I have a particular interest in Feline Medicine including completing a certificate in Feline Practice in 2011. I joined the Vets4Pets team in 2015 on a part-time basis, and the rest of the time I’m kept busy looking after my two young boys.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2000 after starting my training at a Veterinary practice in Maidenhead in 1997.

Over the years I have worked in many different types of Veterinary practice and hospitals, including referral nursing. During this time I took a special interest in anaesthesia, surgical and intensive care nursing. In the last few years I have particularly enjoyed nurse clinics and supporting clients in the day to day care of their fur babies and building relationships with them and the practice.

One of my earliest memories at approx age 6 is of wanting to be a Veterinary Nurse, I love my job - every day is different. And although there are certain aspects that aren't particularly pleasant, such as being pooed on or bitten. I would not choose a different path.

When I'm not at work, I'm a busy mum of two boys and have my own brood of fur babies to care for.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse  way back in the late 90's. During my   career I have also ventured into human nursing, qualifying as an ODP in 2007! I joined Vets4Pets in February 2020 following several years as Head Nurse at Crossroads Veterinary Practice  in High Wycombe. Outside of  work, I am a keen runner (having completed over 60 half marathons, and 4 London Marathons). I also enjoy swimming, and walking my two border terriers, Ronnie and Pippa who take up much of my remaining spare time. 

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in Germany in 2020 and have been part of the Vets4Pets team since the beginning of 2021. Once I complete my paperwork for the RCVS, I am aiming to start working towards a Physiotherapy qualification. Outside of work I enjoy running and swimming, as well as playing my flute and clarinet in our local band.

I worked for many years with race horses in Poland. In January 2005, I came to England and worked with competition and riding school horses. In 2013, I started my adventure into the Veterinary world.

My first practice was in Reading and I worked there for 3 years and gained a lot of hands on experience. In 2016, I started work as a VCA with the possibility to train as a Veterinary Nurse in the future.

At home, my grown up son is still living with us, and in my free time I enjoy horse riding and spending time looking after my four gorgeous rabbits, Cynamon, Azelia, Malwinka and Oliver.

I joined the team permanently in January 2020, I have never felt more welcomed into a job role. With my passion for animals and helping people I couldn't have wished for a better job. A bonus is that my pup, Pi has now been coming here for 6 years and he loves it as much as I do

I had my first experience with Vets4Pets Wycombe Marsh in May 2021 when I went in for a week’s work experience. After completion, I received a call from the practice and was asked if I would be interested in joining the team as a veterinary care assistant…needless to say, I accepted without any hesitation and joined the practice July 2021! In December 2021, I was offered the opportunity to build my career by going to veterinary nursing college…again, I said YES!

I am extremely grateful and excited to start in April 2022.

I couldn’t have asked for better people to work alongside. The team at Vets4Pets are supportive and encouraging which has made my experience in the veterinary world amazing so far.

I have many pets including a hamster, snakes, guinea pigs, fish, cats and my two dogs Roxy and Lincoln. I love them all so much and spend the majority of my time outside of work caring for them.

I started at Vets4Pets as a weekend receptionist in September 2018, and quickly realised how much I enjoyed working within the practice and with the team here. I took on the role of Client Services Manager in November 2018. I enjoy the fact that every day is different, and you don’t know what you are walking into. I could be supporting clients in a difficult position, on reception or even holding the back end of a wriggly animal. I look forward to helping support the business grow over the coming years

I have held this position now for 2 years having been in a financial/admin role for most of my career. A complete change and I have learnt a lot, and I’m still learning. I am very happy each day to go to work and feel privileged to work with such a caring and knowledgeable team and it’s so interesting hear their discussions and watch them put their skills into practice. It is also rewarding following the journey of a sick or injured pet and getting to know and support the clients. At home are fortunate to still have our son and daughter living with us as we share many laughs together. Or two dogs also keep us busy with lots of walks and fun

Having worked  in the tourism and hospitality industry for over 20 years, I joined Vets4Pets at Wycombe Marsh late 2020. Being the loving mother of 4 Labradors, my passion for animals  has always outstripped any I had for the travel industry and it took the turmoil of 2020 to make me realise my  dream. Working with the loving Wycombe  Marsh team, Vets4Pets, the supplier, the amazing clients and of course the beautiful pets, allows me to thrive in an environment I naturally feel at home in 

I moved from Northumberland 5 years ago with my partner and 3 working spaniels. I have always worked in customer service but this is my first role as a receptionist. I have learnt so much in my first year and cannot wait to learn more.
