I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have been working at Abbey vets for 12 years. I started nursing 15 years ago and have been qualified for 13 years. I am responsible for nurse clinics and specialise in Diabetc and weight clinics. My main nursing passion is with our feline patients and this is an area I devote a lot of my time towards, I enjoy my job as it is varied and no two days are the same. I enjoy interacting with the clients and seeing our patients go home happy. I have two cats ‘Dimmy’ and ‘Delilah’ both of who I rescued. ‘Dimmy’ has dietary intolerances, which alongside his asthma and pollen allergies makes him a challenging pet to care for and also allows me to be on top of any new foods available which helps with my diet clinics. I also have two Guinea Pigs ‘Tulip’ and ‘Mollie’. Outside of work I am a Guider with 5th Abergavenny Guides, I find voulenteering with the Guide association as it is very rewarding and enjoy the challenges working with a varitey of ages brings!

I have worked in practice since 2002 originally as a nursing assistant then proceeding with my nursing training and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2007. I have a strong interest in all aspects of dog behaviour which led to me gaining my nursing certificate in animal behaviour in 2012. I especially enjoying nursing of complex medical and emergency cases. Out of work I foster dogs for Hope Rescue alongside having my own dogs, cat and horse.

I have been in veterinary practice since May 2008, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in November 2012. I have been with Abbey Vets since April 2017 and will usually be found in our lovely Brecon branch. Having previously been in mixed practice, I am now enjoying focussing on just the small animals and have a particular intrest in emergency work and imaging. I am a keen runner and compete regularly in cross country and athletics. I also own an ex-racehorse called Reggie and a Lab x Collie called Poppy, so my spare time is mostly spent rushing around trying to keep us all fit!

I joined Abbey Vets in 2005 as Administrator, having previously been employed in various financial and administrative roles for more than 25 years. My current position of Finance Manager is an extremely wide-ranging role and the assortment of jobs that I undertake during a "day at the office" means that no two days are ever the same. This helps make my job more interesting and enjoyable, and I get a lot of job satisfaction from it. In my spare time I like to relax and spend time with my family. I love cats and have two of my own at home, who like to keep me company in the evenings while I am relaxing after a hard day at work.
