Meet The Team

I grew up in East Yorkshire and graduated as a vet from the Royal Veterinary College in 2013. I started my career at a small animal hospital in County Durham where I became a Clinical Director in 2016 and completed my certificate in Small Animal Medicine in 2018. After having two children, my husband (Arundell vet, Lloyd!) and I relocated back to Yorkshire to be closer to my family and I started at Arundell as a Clinical Director in January 2023. I still love doing clinical work alongside my clinical director role and have a special interest in medical cases, although I do enjoy being in theatre too. Outside of work I’m kept very busy with two small children and two dogs!
