Work history

Canine behaviourist

RSPCA
Fareham , Hampshire
02.2021 - Current

Developed behavioural knowledge and handling abilities with dogs in kennels and also in homes offering post adoption support. Working through behavioural challenges such as; reactivity, separation anxiety and handling issues using positive reinforcement. Working alongside a dedicated team to ensure all aspects of canine welfare are assessed and reviewed.

In my role at the RSPCA I have been interviewed and filmed on several occasions for ITV and the BBC. I am comfortable presenting in front of cameras and speaking to groups of people with excellent verbal communication skills and a strong on-screen presence. I currently lead volunteer workshops at the shelter which involves teaching a presentation to a small group and physically demonstrating handling and training dogs. With a natural ability to engage and connect with the audience, I thrive in this position.
