Daventry Vets4Pets

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Bristol Veterinary School in 2011. Since qualifying I have been in both mixed and small animal practice and have even spent some time working in the depths of the Amazon Jungle at a rescue centre for monkeys and other Amazonian species. While I have an interest in exotics, I also love the variety of first opinion practice, and enjoy being able to both consult and perform surgeries. At home I have a menagerie of animals that keep me busy in my spare time, including my pack of shetland sheepdogs who you may see running round the practice.

Originally from Somerset, I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2012. After moving to Rugby I worked in farm animal practice for three years, before realising it's much warmer and dryer working with small animals inside! I have a keen interest in surgery and am currently undertaking a certificate in small animal surgery, which will allow us to offer more advanced procedures to our patients. I have two black labradors called May and Maggie, who many clients will have met in the practice. Outside of work I regularly travel back to Somerset to visit family and friends, taking part and judging the Somerset Guy Fawkes Carnivals.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich and have traveled around the world pursuing veterinary interests in small animals, wildlife, exotics and equines. I have had a lifelong love for all things furry and scaly and I am thrilled to continue sharing this passion at Daventry Vets4Pets. I enjoy a challenge and am particularly interested in small animal cardiology, diagnostic imaging and exotics. When not at the clinic, I spend my time doing one of my many hobbies, from martial arts to music. You may also find me exploring a forest or hiking on any given day.

I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse from the College of Animal Welfare in 2005 after working in both mixed (large and small animal) and small animal practices since I finished my Animal Welfare Diplomas at Moulton College. I have an interest in medical and surgical nursing and enjoy running nurse clinics on a number of topics to ensure we are offering the best possible care for your pets. When I am not in uniform, I like to spend time with my little family at our favourite place outside of Daventry – Swanage. I love catching up with friends and family when I can, and love eating out with them. We have a shetland sheepdog called Suzi & a speedy little Tortoise called Linford.

I have worked with animals since I was 15 years old and shown an interest and passion in animals from a much younger age, so it was natural progression for me to qualify a Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2022 at Moreton Morrell college. I enjoy all aspects in nursing, however my particular interests include anaesthesia, Nurse Clinics, laboratory and inpatient nursing care. I find working with animals incredibly rewarding and interesting, with no two days the same. Outside of work I will usually be exploring new walks with my Chihuahua Tucker and visiting friends & family.

I have wanted to work in the veterinary field since I was 10 years old and have now nearly finished my Veterinary Nursing degree at Moreton Morrell college. My favourite part of working as a veterinary nurse is running nurse clinics because I enjoy engaging with clients and their pets. I have a cat and a horse that keep me busy outside of work and also enjoy taking part in conservation programs - I have worked alongside rhinos and buffalo in South Africa, and am looking forward to working with a variety of animals in Costa Rica including turtles and sloths!

I have worked as a receptionist for just over 4 years at two different practices, and I am now training to be a Veterinary Care Assistant, which is the first step towards studying veterinary nursing in the future. I have completed an Extended Diploma in Animal Welfare at Moulton College from 2011 - 2013. I have two horses that are kept on a farm, where I have previously worked for two years with the livestock, and still help out where I'm able to around work. My partner and I also have two cats Felix and Lucky at home. We enjoy going away on holidays and socialising with our friends and family when our time is not taken up with looking after our various pets!

I spent most of my childhood in and around a dairy farm and country fairs so always dreamed to have a job somewhere in the animal industry. When I’m not at work my life is devoted to my three beautiful children, making every spare moment we can into a new adventure. My favourite part of working at the vets is getting to have lots of snuggles with a variety of adorable animals.

I started working at Daventry Vets4Pets in 2021, and am fairly new to the veterinary industry, having been in my previous job for 18 years. I have really enjoyed the change in environment and meeting all the clients and their pets. One of the highlights is all the cuddles I get with our patients! I enjoy spending time at home with my husband in my spare time, as well as seeing family and friends.
