I had always dreamed of becoming a veterinary nurse and began my training in 2008.
10 years on I am still passionate about nursing and love being able to help and provide comfort to our patients. My particular interests are cats, exotics and weight management. I hope to undertake further training focusing on the nursing of exotic pets in the future.
Job Titles:
- RVN - Registered Veterinary Nurse
I have always had a passion for animals and a career as a veterinary nurse was what I had always dreamed of. I qualified in 2016 and have loved every minute of it so far. I have a particular fondness for our native wildlife and often have some hedgehog patients at home to care for.
I joined the practice in 2016 as an Animal Nursing Assistant before starting my training to become a veterinary nurse in 2018. Whilst I love working with dogs and cats, I am also very interested in the more exotic animals which visit the practice. I have been surrounded by animals large and small since I was young, both at home and latterly in the workplace. In my spare time I enjoy baking, horse riding and looking after my many pets.
Steve graduated from the University of Sydney, Australia in 1992 and moved to the UK the following year. After working in small animal practice in Buckinghamshire for the past 25 years Steve has relocated to Norfolk in 2019. Over the years he has developed a passion for Veterinary Dentistry as well as Animal Behaviour, both being very common and often under appreciated areas of Veterinary care. Steve currently is enjoying getting to know all the area has to offer, usually with his two dogs, Lottie and Scout, never too far away.

I started working in the veterinary industry as a General Nursing Assistant in 2011. After a couple of years I began training as a Veterinary Nurse qualifying in November 2016. During that time I developed an interest in exotic pets and canine behaviour which I hope to pursue further whilst at Toll Barn Vets. I joined Toll Barn Vets in June 2018 and when I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my two very cheeky chinchillas called Dexter and Drifter, my cat called Jasmine and going on lovely long walks and doing agility with my two Australian Shepherds called Austin and Clyde.
I was born in Wales and moved to Norfolk over 30 years ago. I trained as a Secretary but spent the last 16 years working as a Teaching Assistant in a large Primary School before joining Toll Barn Vets. I have two cats and in my spare time I enjoy walking and horse riding.

I met my husband Paul in 2004 and amongst other things have enjoyed touring Europe on motorbikes before settling down with our 2 daughters and Spencer the cat.....we'd need a big car to carry on the touring !!!
