Summary

I am an energized and motivated veterinarian with four and a half years of experience at a busy large animal practice based in Yorkshire (UK). I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of ambulatory practice, and am passionate about establishing, and maintaining, good working relationships with clients and their animals. I am confident about making decisions out in the field, and have an interest in emergency work, particularly colic, wound management, and neonatal medicine. I also have a strong interest in mentoring and teaching and feel my strong communication skills enable me to effectively engage with others.
