Meet the team


I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon from the Royal Veterinary College in July 2018, and joined the Vets4Pets team shortly after. Prior to my vet school training, I had studied to gain an additional degree in Bioveterinary Science from the same university. I enjoy all aspects of general practice, with particular interests in internal medicine and clinical pathology.
I have grown up with a variety of animals in and around the home, from hamsters and dogs to horses. Outside of work, I enjoy running and competing in triathlons, as well as riding my mum's 24 year old Connemara pony, Bally.

I graduated from the RVC in 2020. Having spent a lot of time with Vets4pets St Albans, I always knew I wanted to come back here. As well as working with cats and dogs, I also enjoy looking after rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and birds. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family (including the furry and feathered kinds). Currently my menagerie including a ferret, cats an orphaned duck, an adopted rabbit, horses, fish and a dog.

RVN, ISFMCertFN
Since leaving South Africa in 2001 to study, I have nursed my way around the world including Australia, Canada and Peru and then settled in the UK in early 2009.
I have my Certificate in Oral Nursing Care. My main passions are for emergency and surgical nursing as well as general medical nursing, I do love a good challenging case. I have a special interest in cats and have completed an International Society of Feline Medicine Certificate in Feline Nursing.
We are an ISFM Cat Friendly clinic and I am happy to be the clinic’s Cat Advocate.
I have two comical cats Rasputin & Cecil.

I joined the practice in 2019 working on reception and have since worked my way through various roles whilst studying for my nursing course. Since qualifying as an RVN and SQP in September 2022, I am enjoying gaining experience in all aspects of clinic life. I have developed a keen interest in emergency and critical care and surgical nursing and look to pursue these further in the future.
I have two house bunnies of my own called Sushi and Nori who are forever getting up to mischief, keeping me on my toes!


I have wanted to be a veterinary nurse for as long as I can remember! I enjoy so much about my job, being able to care for our patients whether they are old, young, happy, or sad. I love being there for them before, during and after their anaesthetic. I love how much of a bond you can get whilst they are staying with us and I love to see how much our patients progress with us.
It can be challenging at times and we do come home with many scratches/ scars, bodily fluids and work long hours etc but as long as our patients are doing okay that’s all that matters to us

Megan Jones
Registered Veterinary Nurse

I have always taken a keen interest in animals, owning small furries and horse riding from a young age. I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Animal Care from Oakland College achieving the highest grade possible.
I have many years experience in the animal care industry with a number of jobs ranging from a sales person in pet shops to a groom in a riding school. My main experience comes from working for the RSPCA for over 9 years and also owning my own pet care business which included home animal boarding and dog walking.
I have 2 rescue dogs, Maggie and Peggy, who I fostered from the RSPCA and ended up staying. They both have health issues, mainly Peggy as she is missing a leg, however this does not slow her down at all and she will always beat Maggie in a race for the ball. I've also owned my horse, Fred, for 16 years.

I started here in March 2020 with no previous experience working with animals, however have had plenty of experience owning them! When I am not working I am at home with my 5 year old Ridgeback X Shar Pei, Oscar, fighting over something he should not have in his mouth! I look forward to meeting you and your animals in the future!

From the cool cats and kittens to the big dogs, I like them all. I have a well behaved Chihuahua called Pandora and a shy Cavapoo called Peggy. Whilst working here I also adopted an unwell bunny who was surrendered to Pets At Home. He beat all the odds and has the most wonderful character. I called him Martin. He now has a wife named Nana who are a lovely pasteurella pair. When not at work or walking the dogs you’ll find me gardening or listening to true crime podcasts.

Harley Atkins
Client Care Advisor

I have recently started my career in the veterinary environment having previously worked with exotic animals in sanctuary based settings. I love all animals and feel extremely lucky to have worked with lots of species so far, ranging from rabbits to racoons and mice to monkeys! I found my love for animals when volunteering in Costa Rica and I feel very passionate about conservation and animal welfare. When I'm not at work you'll find me at the cinema or with my head in a good book!
Having opened in March 2015, Vets4Pets St Albans is a family run veterinary practice. Head veterinary surgeon James and the team look to offer a first class service and wish to make all clients and patients feel as comfortable as possible when they visit the practice.
