I worked as a veterinary nurse before I moved to New Zealand, where I lived very happily for nine years. My husband, young family and I moved back to the UK and in 2012 I started working at the practice as a receptionist.

My experience of nursing still comes in handy and I enjoy being involved with both clients and their pets. My previous jobs include working for Airpets Oceanic and Primate Research Centre.

When I'm not assisting clients at reception I am working hard on insurance claims!

My family and I share our home with Tui the Cocker Spaniel and Barney, a very handsome tabby cat. At the weekend my family are usually involved with motorbike trials and competing.  When I get some time to myself I enjoy scrap-booking and other paper crafts. In the future, when my children are older, I would love to return to New Zealand.
