Meet the team
After graduating from the University of Zimbabwe, I had the opportunity of running a veterinary practice near the Zimbabwe / Mozambique border, treating all manner of pets large and small, and wildlife. Five years later I moved to the UK, and worked in various practice settings (from sole charge to hospitals, emergency centres) across London and Hertfordshire. I joined Vets4Pets six years ago. I enjoy all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery and have pursued and completed postgraduate studies at the University of Liverpool with a goal of always providing the best care possible for my patients.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travelling, sport, music and reading. I have two pets of my own, Phineas the goldfish and Rosie the cockatiel.
After having attained my undergraduate science degree from London’s Royal Veterinary College, I graduated in 2011 from The University of Liverpool. I started my career working for Vets4Pets in Yorkshire for 2 years then moved to an independent multi-vet hospital practice in Barnet. A year later I returned to the Vets4Pets group working at practices in Essex and Hendon, before joining the Vets4Pets Hatfield team in January 2020. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, and strive to provide the highest level of compassionate care to all my patients. My particular interests are soft-tissue surgery with a specific focus on airway surgery for brachycephalic dogs. I adore cats and don't even mind the naughty feral ones. Apart from work, I am kept busy with my cat Chakudi and spending time with my rather large family. I also enjoy baking, travelling and the theatre.
I have been a Registered Veterinary Nurse since 2011, and have worked in both general and emergency practice. Starting as a student and working my way up to head nurse, general practice has been my preferred sector. Having obtained my Graduate Diploma in Professional and Clinical Veterinary Nursing last year, I am delighted to have become a Joint Venture Partner this year. I look forward to developing the practice further and offering the best standard of care possible to all our patients
I have two dogs, B a twelve year old, Staffordshire bull terrier, and Jabba, an eight year old French bulldog who I hand reared from 5 days old. We enjoy going for our countryside walks and finding new places to roam.
I am currently a veterinary care assistant but will soon be beginning my training to become a veterinary nurse. I have grown up with dogs all my life but have a passion for all species. I have two leopard geckos at home, along with my fourteen year old cocker spaniel, Ripper.
In the future I would like to pursue a career in hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and learn new ways to improve the lives of animals in my care.

Registered Veterinary Nurse
RVN
I joined the Vets4Pets group in 2014.
I found my passion and love for the veterinary field when I was living in the Emerald Isle, working in a family owned clinic. I landed on my feet when I returned to London with Vets4Pets and was given a great opportunity to complete their practice manager course.
I have found that working with Vets4Pets enables me to combine my love for animals and business.
My family would not be complete without our crazy energetic border collie named Gus, and our hand reared cat Junior who joined our family at 3weeks old.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my daughter, visiting family and travelling to different national parks.
Vets4Pets Hatfield is committed to bringing you affordable, high quality care via a modern, well equipped practice, including a lab, pharmacy, digital x-ray and ultrasound. Plus, on site car parking too!
The friendly team can't wait to meet all of their new clients!
