I loved biology at school and would get around 90% in exams without even trying!

I grew up on my mum and dad's smallholding where we had a goat, rabbits and ducks, chickens and geese, so from then on I wanted to be a veterinary nurse.

I've always been a keen fisherwoman and I spend most of my free time outside on the water.  I have my own boat and kayak and that's where you'll find me when I'm not at the vets!

Since qualifying as a veterinary nurse in 1991, I've also qualified as a specialist Dental Nurse and have done a lot of additional lab work courses and I love the fact that there's always something new to learn.

Tulah is my young Whippet cross Cocker Spaniel who goes everywhere with me – even on the boat!
