I have always had a connection with animals from a young age. Growing up around horses, I saw the effect that physiotherapy could have to improve performance and wellbeing in animals, and it inspired me to follow a career with animals.

In 2020 I graduated with a BSc in Equine Sports Science at Nottingham Trent University, where I researched the effect of different girths on saddle pressure for my dissertation. Following on from this, I enrolled on an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy from Writtle University College where I honed my anatomy skills and learnt the techniques needed to assess and treat animals. This allowed me to qualify as a practicing veterinary physiotherapist in 2023. I completed my Master’s dissertation project on the behavioural and physiological effects of various physiotherapy treatments on animals, and graduated from my course in 2024.

Since then, I have joined The National Association of Veterinary Physiotherapists (NAVP), and continue to attend regular courses and talks on many topics relating to physiotherapy, animal health and welfare to remain up to date with recent scientific advancements in the field.
