I have always loved the company of animals, favouring it over other humans. As a child growing up i've had creatures big and small, from dogs to chickens, hamsters to horses. Currently, I have 2 cats who are 16 years young. I have lots of experience caring for animals and have volunteered in an animal hospital so I have experience in restraining animals and administering medications. In 2022, I was lucky enough to volunteer abroad in Greece at a cat sanctuary, where we captured and released/rescued stray, injured and vulnerable cats and cared for them in a live in sanctuary until they found new homes. I also spent a month in Croatia working at a dog hotel, assessing the temperament of new arrivals before introducing them into suitable packs as well as a lot of play, feeding, cleaning and exercise. I have a BSc (hons) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. During my degree, I studied modules in animal behaviour and cognition, animal welfare science and protection, nutrition and health and disease. I also completed various field work including dog, cat and equine first aid and bandaging as well as training and behaviour classes.
