I am the Managing Partner at Larkmead, having joined the practice in 1998 after 4 years working in my native Yorkshire, graduating from the University of Liverpool in 1994. Although I work across disciplines, my time is mostly spent in surgery (mainly orthopaedics), having undertaken further training and examination in this field and being on the RCVS register of Advanced Practitioners since its inception in 2014.

I am passionate about pet care and creating a practice in which staff love to work and to which clients love to bring their animals.

In my spare time I enjoy playing the cello (including the Wantage Orchestra for 20 years) and have three dogs at home.
