Zoë graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2018 and has been part of the Vet4Pets Newmarket team ever since. Unable to decide if she is more of a dog or cat person she has particular interest in both dog and cat medicine and surgery. Zoë is therefore currently studying for a post graduate certificate in small animal (canine and feline) medicine.

Outside of work Zoë is a rugby player for Shelford Rugby Club and Harlequins supporter - a great way of letting off some steam! She is also an avid movie fan and at home Zoë has a house cat, Harley, to keep her entertained.
