Since the age of 6, I have always wanted to be a vet and I don't think I even considered another career. I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2008 and after one year in mixed practice, I decided to live and work near where I grew up, in Surrey.

As a senior veterinary surgeon, I ensure quality standards across the team, and train and develop each member of the team, encouraging and supporting them to reach their highest potential.

I am also responsible for the more complicated cases and love seeing second opinions. With the specialist services we offer it is so rewarding helping clients who want or need that extra level of care. I have specialist interests in brachycephalic dogs (especially Bulldogs), dermatology and infectious diseases. We have a great team here and always do our best to create a lasting, personal touch. 

I love animals and have a lovable Labrador called Dudley and a French Bulldog called Elfa. I also have a horse called Wi, who I spend time with eventing competitively.

After studying veterinary medicine at Bristol University, I worked as a small animal and equine vet in South Wales before moving back to be nearer my family in Surrey. I have really enjoyed becoming part of the Voo team because there is such a strong team spirit and wealth of knowledge.

I really enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine, however the two areas I find the most interesting are surgery and cardiology. By having our own specialists, we provide the best possible care for all our patients. Our amazing reception and nursing teams are always on hand to provide support and to answer any questions our clients may have.

Outside of work I enjoy playing hockey and tennis. I also love photography, particularly of animals and wildlife.

I joined the Voo team in 2012, after completing a BTEC and then my nursing diploma.

I love working with a team who always goes the extra mile to provide excellent treatment, to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients. As a senior qualified nurse, I am also responsible for quality assurance, training and development of the nursing team, to the highest of standards. 

I enjoy all aspects of general nursing but am especially passionate about hospital care and emergency stabilisation. Veterinary nursing is something I have always wanted to do and I love spending time and creating bonds with the pets we care for.
