After graduating with a degree in English Literature and History of Art, Helen spent several years working in marketing and communications. Her passion for animal welfare led to a career change, whereby Helen qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2005. During her time working in private practice, she qualified as a Clinical Coach and led a team as Head of Training within a large first opinion practice. In 2012, she was appointed as Veterinary Supervisor at Cats Protection. She is responsible for promoting cat health and welfare to veterinary professionals, the charity sector and the public, across the UK.
More recently, Helen has graduated with a Master’s degree in Behaviour Change from the University of Derby and is very interested in implementing human behaviour change principles to help improve animal welfare. She has been a volunteer animal carer for Sussex Pet Rescue and the Donkey Sanctuary and is currently volunteering for SHOUT as a crisis counsellor. She has a lovely adopted greyhound called Ned.
