About

A little about me

I qualified with honours as a veterinary surgeon in 2007 from Glasgow University.  Since then I have worked both in small and equine practice and absolutely loved my job.  I understand the troubles and struggles of veterinary practice, but I also know how rewarding a career within the industry can be. 

I have always had a passion for teaching and very much enjoyed coaching the vet and vet nurse students who were on placement and working for us.  This passion for teaching led me to accept a job as a veterinary nurse lecturer in 2019. 

Working as a lecturer of veterinary nursing has given me a huge insight into the huge amount of knowledge that is involved in qualifying as a veterinary nurse.  There is no denying that this is a difficult course! However, I have drastically improved the number of SVNs passing their exams for the first time since joining. I back myself as a teacher but more importantly I back you as student veterinary nurses. By understanding individual needs and supporting students on a one-to-one basis, I can help everyone reach their goals and unlock their potential. 

I am most familiar with the exam structure and course content of the Vetskill course, but I am happy to help anyone who feels they need extra support working toward exams under any awarding body.
