After qualifying from Cambridge University in 2001, I spent 11 years working in a large mixed practice in Yorkshire. Whilst at the practice, I was lucky enough to treat a wide range of animals - anything from tapirs and porcupines to crocodiles and marmosets - and achieved a Certificate in Zoological Medicine.

I have worked in Maidstone for the past five years where I have also developed a special interest in small animal medicine.

Away from the surgery, my time is spent looking after our ever-expanding mini zoo at home with my two children and looking after our lovely blind border collie and two diabetic 17-year-old cats! When time allows, I enjoy karate, competing in triathlons and getting muddy obstacle racing with friends!

I am really looking forward to getting to know the lovely animals and owners at SittiVets!
