Bio

Having worked in first-opinion and all small animal specialist departments of a teaching hospital and private referral hospitals since 2000, I found my true passion and became the Dick Vet nutrition nurse in 2015. I have expanded the Fit for Life nutrition service to provide bespoke nutrition advice to any referred patient from our specialist vet teams and first-opinion clinic. I also run follow-up clinics to monitor these patients and support clients implementing a specific diet plan at home. On a daily basis I help with the needs of in-patient feeding plans and teach our undergraduate vet students during lectures, clinical skills sessions and practical assessments. Evidence based veterinary medicine is a particular interest of mine and I have daily duties being involved with the hospital’s clinical research projects.

I enjoy time off taking care of my home and garden which I share with my husband, 2 dogs, 3 chickens and honey-bee hives. We enjoy the great outdoors walking mountains, rock climbing, cycling and motor biking. In February 2021, in snow and ice, I started outdoor swimming. I have continued twice weekly in the sea, reservoirs, rivers and lochs of Scotland.
