My career was something that seemed certain to me long before I began my degree. When growing up, I told anyone that would listen how I was going to be a vet. That has led me to where I am today – working as a general practice vet in a busy small-animal hospital.
I studied veterinary medicine at the University of Bristol and, after 5 years of studying, qualified in 2015. My career began in a practice in North Wales, where a typical day involved a morning of small-animal consultations, an afternoon out on-farm seeing cattle and sheep, and then an evening back at the practice for more consultations. After 3 years of working in a mixed setting I opted to switch to small animals only, and have since been working in a busy hospital in Exeter, treating mainly dogs and cats, with the occasional bird or reptile.
