I graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2007, and ever since have concentrated on small animal medicine and surgery. I enjoy all aspects of general practice, but I do have a special interest in surgery – both soft tissue and orthopaedics. I have worked across the UK, gaining experience in practices in both Scotland and England. My goal is to bring the discipline and best practices from these previous experiences to a warm and welcoming surgery delivering the highest standards of patient care. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my rescued pet - Minnie the Chihuahua. I am looking forward to providing the best quality care, and cannot wait to meet my new clients and their much loved pets!

Having grown up on a farm I have spent all my life surrounded by creatures great and small. Pursuing a career in veterinary medicine seemed natural, every day brings a different challenge and has kept me on my toes since graduating from Glasgow University in 2012. I started off in mixed practice before making a change to focus on the small animals only. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine and have a keen interest and passion for surgery. Outside of work I enjoy an active lifestyle of running, rugby and squash, with the occasional ski and snowboarding trip over the winter. I have been welcomed into my new job at Vets4Pets Dumbarton by a great team of dedicated staff and look forward to meeting the new clients and helping look after their beloved pets.

I adored animals from an early age and knew I wanted to pursue a career with them in mind. I was delighted to fulfil this dream and graduate from Glasgow University Veterinary School in 2005. I have focussed on small animal first opinion practice since my graduation, including a period as an OOH emergency clinician. I enjoy all aspects of small animal practice but have a particular interest in surgery and emergency work. Additionally, I am trained and practice Veterinary acupuncture. When I am not working or spending time with my young family, I am an avid reader, a mediocre pianist and a semi-skilled baker. I joined the Vets4pets Dumbarton team in January 2019. I was quickly made to feel welcomed by staff and clients alike. It is really lovely to be part of such a close knit friendly team. I hope to be here for some time to come and look forward to meeting even more clients and caring for their beautiful pets.

I am originally from New Hampshire, USA, and after completing my first bachelor’s degree at home, I decided to move abroad and study veterinary medicine at Glasgow University. I graduated in 2018 and made the choice to continue my adventure in Scotland. I have worked in small animal practice for the last three years and hope to continue! I love the new and challenging cases that walk through the door every day and am particularly interested in soft tissue surgery. In my free time I enjoy cooking and baking, spending time with family and friends, visiting local coffee shops, and exploring Scotland!

Originally from California, I made the choice to move abroad to Scotland to pursue veterinary medicine at the University of Glasgow. After graduating in 2020, I worked as a mixed practice vet in Ayrshire for a few years. I then felt it was time to change focus and further my skills as a small animal vet. I’m excited to provide an excellent standard of care within the Vets4Pets family and develop my interests, especially surgery. Outside of work I enjoy hill walks, reading, baking, and spending time with my Labrador (Orzo) and moggie (Tuna).

I then went on to complete a course on animal care at Oatridge College, while attending college I volunteered at a local community farm. I have worked in Vets4Pets Dumbarton since we opened our doors in 2014, my role within the practice was Veterinary Care Assistant, I then carried out extensive training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse which has lead me to my position of Head Veterinary Nurse. I am very lucky to work with a great team within a job that I love! Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband and my daughter, our favourite thing to do is go on long walks and adventures with our wee dog Archie.

I have been working with the practice since 2017 when I started as a student on placement, I am looking forward to continuing my career here as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I particularly enjoy carrying out nurse consults as it lets me get to know our patients, as well as, our lovely clients. I loved studying at SRUC Barony and at Edinburgh Napier Universities as I gained experience with many different animals. From dairy cows, to hedgehogs and everything in between. In my spare time, I like Munro bagging and running with my cocker spaniel Frankie.

I started studying veterinary nursing at SRUC Barony in 2018, spending 2 years in Dumfries, and joined the Vets4pets Dumbarton team in August 2020 to complete my final year student placement. I was then lucky enough to be offered a job here, and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in August 2021. I have wanted to work with animals for as long as I can remember, and I really like how every day in this job is different. At home, I have 2 cats of my own called Magic and Loki, who love to play and cause chaos! I also have a guinea pig called Biscuit. He is an older boy who I rescued and is living out a nice chilled retirement! In my spare time, I like to go horse riding and spend time with friends and family. I am excited to continue working with such a great team and to meet all of your pets!
