Summary

I am a driven and passionate veterinary professional with strong interpersonal and organisational skills. I have gained diverse experience through extensive veterinary clinical placements, handling a wide variety of species, and developing technical skills in animal care, client communication, and problem solving. I am committed to delivering high-quality veterinary care and working collaboratively within a team. Outside of work, I enjoy making music, playing sports and exercising, studying history, and travelling.
