I qualified as a vet from Glasgow Vet School in 2002 and have worked in small animal practice since graduating.  StreetVet was created following a chance encounter with a homeless gentleman and his dog in 2016 and a conversation about his unconditional love for his dog and fears of losing him. Having recently diagnosed my own dog Oakley with cancer, his worries resonated with me and I felt frustrated that I couldn't use my veterinary skills to help them and walked away determined to change that.  

It was no coincidence that my StreetVet journey began in October 2016 and I lost Oakley in September the same year. StreetVet helped me keep focus through my grief and created a platform where the power of the human-animal bond could by truly celebrated.  

Outside of StreetVetting and being a vet in practice, I relish being a mum, spending time with friends and family, taking my dogs to the beach and being ignored by my cat.
