I am a veterinary lecturer at the SRUC vet school, and I have been working at SRUC since May 2021. In my time at the SRUC, I have taught on the Veterinary Nursing degree course, the Rural Business Management HND, the Agriculture HND, Equine Studies HND, Animal care NC and HNC, and Veterinary Care Assistance course.

I also wrote and started the Rural Animal Health HND which allows students to become veterinary technicians or work with large domestic or production animals. I really enjoy teaching anatomy and husbandry, as well as pharmacology. Prior to working at SRUC, I was a small animal vet working in Aberdeen.

I grew up in Aberdeenshire, and I have a small herd of pedigree Aberdeen Angus and Belted Galloway cattle. I also have a small business growing fruits and vegetables on my small farm, which I make into jams, jellies and baked goods.
