I’m a RCVS veterinary specialist in cattle health and production and have been a production animal veterinary surgeon since 2004. My previous work has seen me working in both veterinary practice, veterinary industry and academia. I have a passion for cattle medicine, farm animal production and livestock health.

In my current role as Senior Veterinary Lecturer, I have a particular interest in the theory-skill interface and student – vet transition.

When “out of the office”, I can often be found hiking with my partner and dog or getting stuck in with another project.
