Career Overview

I graduated from Hartpury in 2018 after completing my three-year FdSc degree in Veterinary Nursing Science (SW). I then continued my studies at Hartpury for an additional year, to complete my BSc (Hons) In Veterinary Nursing. I presented my dissertation at BVNA Congress and published my findings in a Veterinary Nursing journal. Following this, I started my career as a registered Veterinary Nurse in a small animal practice in Gloucestershire, where I also managed and processed insurance claims. Throughout 2021 I completed an Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour, which is a keen interest of mine. I returned to Hartpury in the summer of 2023 as a junior lecturer and placement tutor.
