I am an animal lover. I spend most my time with my two horses and my main hobby is flying my bird of prey during the winter months as this is a huge passion of mine.

My dream has always been to work in the veterinary industry as i would love to be able to help animals and better their lives however i also am interested in anatomy aswell.
