Since the practice opened in 2015 I have enjoyed caring for lots of lovely animals and meeting their families.  I have enjoyed treating a range of patients but have a special interest in feline medicine. 

In my spare time I enjoy playing table tennis, hill walking and spending time with friends, family and our resident feline Kit Kat.

Since joining the practice in 2024, I have had the pleasure of meeting and building relationships with our lovely clients and their pets. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, and my main interests are in surgery and pain management.
Outside of work, much of my free time is spent exploring nature walks across Scotland with Ayla, my rescue dog. I also enjoy various forms of art, knitting, and travelling.

I joined the Practice in 2025 and I am enjoying working with such a friendly and caring team.
Before that I spent 25 years in charity practice helping stray and rescue pets get back on their feet and find new homes.
I own my own three-legged rescue moggy and when not looking after her I enjoy long distance walking and making my own gin.

I joined the practice in late 2024 and work as a Vet Care Assistant alongside my other job at Cat’s Protection League which I have been doing for 9 years. Working with animals is incredibly fulfilling and I love being a part of their journey and being able to help them. The team here is so lovely and I enjoy coming to work.

I have fostered over 30 cats over the years until the last one turned into a 'foster fail' in  2021. Since then I have been the owner of my cat Emily, who will turn 21 this year and is still going strong!

I joined the team in February 2024 as a Registered Veterinary Nurse after moving across the world to land in Glasgow. Pursuing animal care has always been my passion and I take pride in my job at nursing people’s four-legged family members back to health. I've now thoroughly settled in and started to learn the Glaswegian slang but always keen to learn more.

When not at work, I love to explore historical sites and castles, and enjoy taking it easy reading a good book.

I qualified in 2018 from Edinburgh Napier University and joined Vets for Pets Drumchapel in 2025. I have a real passion for surgery and anaesthesia, and I take pride in providing a high standard of care to every patient, ensuring they are as safe and comfortable as possible throughout their treatment. I love the team I work with and I feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful, compassionate team! 
When I’m not working, I love spending time at home with my little boy and our pets; Bear the Pugapom, Manny the Siberian Husky, Poppy the cat and Barry our bearded dragon. My love for animals is a huge part of who I am and is at the heart of the care I provide every day.

I have happily worked in Vets for Pets Drumchapel since October 2022. I come from a background in aviation where I worked for 6 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the transition between the two industries.

My favourite things about my job are the people and their pets. I’m passionate about forming strong bonds with our clients and offering them support when needed. I also love all of the cuddles I get from our gorgeous furry patients!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy long walks in the park with my own dog Orzo and travelling when I can.
