I am a Medical Science lecturer working at the University of Central Lancashire and love animals. For years I wanted to be a vet and have had lots of experience working on farms, in vets practices and even at a zoo! During my PhD at the University of Manchester I worked as a teaching assistant on an undergraduate field trip to the South African bush where we studied animal behaviour, observing everything from big cats to dung beetles to giraffes. I grew up on a farm in Devon and always had cats, dogs, and other animals, so I am very happy with all aspects of animal care. Because of this, I take a very practical approach to looking after animals (whilst always being on standby for a cat cuddle) and am confident in handling emergency situations. I have also looked after friends pets recently. I can walk, drive, or cycle to your home to look after your pets and look forward to meeting you.
