About
Veterinary Surgeon
Since graduating in 2014, I have mostly worked in small animal practices in London. Over this time my relationship with feline patients has blossomed, in no small part due to the arrival of Nigel, a sweet (though occasionally spicy), and initially very nervous, cat who was abandoned at work. Forging a relationship with Nigel, and learning his body language, has helped me to develop my interaction with cats in clinic.

Cats are such special creatures, and although it is possible to achieve a lot in a normal veterinary practice, noise, and the presence of other species, always have a negative impact.

Joining TLCC in 2022 has been a dream. The careful design of the clinic, as well as the passion for feline medicine and welfare held by all the staff is astounding. I am honoured to be a part of the team.

As a vet I particularly enjoy the challenge of interpreting all that an animal is communicating, both through physical signs on clinical exam, behavioural changes at home, and the results of diagnostic tests including imaging, and have a certificate in Small Animal Medicine to enhance my diagnostic toolbox.

Outside of work, other than spending time with Nigel, I enjoy singing in an a cappella choir, mending things, and climbing.
