Meet the team
Joined the Practice in 2010.
I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2007. Since qualifying I have also gained further qualifications in animal behaviour, acupuncture and small animal surgery. I became Practice Director at Oadby in 2012, and have also helped set up another two Vets4Pets clinics in Rugby.
I enjoy the variety that working in general practice brings along with the additional challenges of owning and managing a busy clinic. My true passion lies in surgery so any complex or weird and wonderful operation and I'm in my element!
I live in the South Leicestershire countryside with my husband, Ben and our son, Jenson. We have an extended four legged family comprising of two dogs, two cats and a horse. Outside of work I enjoy exercising the horse and dogs (sometimes together!), cooking and travelling.

I qualified in 2012 from Nottingham University and have recently completed a postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Medicine.

I am married with 2 young boys, 1 cat, 2 gerbils and 2 fish.
I love most things about my job but I probably lean more towards medicine, in particular Cardiology and Endocrinology.
Joined the practice in 2020.
I qualified in 2020 from Nottingham University. My areas of interest currently include small animal behaviour, dermatology and reproduction, but I am also developing quite a enthusiasm for soft tissue surgery. I have a scruffy terrier cross called Tinker who is my world and I definitely aim to adopt more dogs in the future. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going for long walks, listening to music and drawing/painting.
Joined the Practice in 2007.
I live with my gorgeous cat Paddy. Oh and my husband Jay! I enjoy Pilates and running - generally keeping fit. I love spending time with family and friends socialising.
I love every part of my job and I cannot say that I have a particular interest in just one area but I do love consultations and being able to help clients with any problems they may have with their pets. My priority is making sure that all of our in-patients are cared for to the highest standards on a daily basis.

I currently own a bunny called Smooch and recently had a new addition to the family a rottie puppy called Jake. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with the family and travelling.
I’ve been nursing for a few years, doing a mixture of referral and first opinion work and I enjoy all aspects of it. I have a keen interest in medicine in particular nutrition and inpatient care. I am hoping to further my knowledge in the future by gaining a certificate in nutrition.

I love all our furry customers! Especially FERRETS! We do not get that many in so I always give them a special ferrety fuss when we do.

I have two grown up children and one grandson and a very lively Sprocker called Elvis and a not so lively tortoise called Rocket. I really enjoy going to the theatre with family and friends.
I love the variety of work that each day brings to the practice. We have a lovely working atmosphere with colleagues and good relationships with the clients and their pets. I feel most rewarded when a poorly pet goes home better.
