I have worked in East Yorkshire ever since and started End Cottage Vets as a solo vet in 1996. Interested in lifelong care of pets, I’ve known many patients throughout their entire lives.
I keep dogs, Buck, a stray brought in to the clinic homeless in 2000 and Tyke, an Irish Terrier bred locally. With my husband Ian, we also keep sheep and poultry, are keen gardeners and we maintain the End Cottage site together.

In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and ever expanding collection of horses, chickens and sheep.
I enjoy many outdoor pursuits and am an avid fan of any sports.
