I qualified in 2010 and have been with Medivet since 2006. I’ve been at the Shoebury Road practice for three years and enjoy all aspects of my job role but am particularly passionate about emergency and poisoning cases. I also enjoy training future nurses. Outside of work I have volunteered in south Africa at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, looking after injured and orphaned animals. I also own a domestic short hair cat called Marty, who was a stray brought into the Southend 24-hour hospital.

I qualified in November 2019 and have been with Medivet for over 4 years. I’m particularly interested in cats and have worked alongside the big five in South Africa. I have three smaller cats at home, Romeo, Juliet and Minnie.

Head Client Care Assistant

I started working for the practice in 2000, this year being my 20th year of service. I started as a part time receptionist and am now the Head Receptionist. I'm very proud to be part of the team at Shoebury Road. We pride ourselves on our good service, always putting our client’s needs first. Outside of work I'm married and have a daughter who this year has graduated as a social worker. My husband and I are foster carers for the local council. At home we have three rescue cats, Garfield, Bob and Rodney. We also have a Tortoise called Fred who is 57 years young. We're very fortunate to live by the sea, so spending time at the beach hut is a favourite pastime.

I've been working at the practice for almost six years now. I started on a customer service apprenticeship for one year. I've always had a passion for working with animals and have always worked in the veterinary industry. When I was younger, I worked as a student nurse for five years, before starting a family. At home I have two beautiful children, Tyler who is 20 and Katie who is 18. They both make me very proud to be a mum. I really enjoy all aspects of my job and feel very lucky to be working in a lovely practice with a wonderful team of colleagues.

I cannot praise highly enough the reception staff and the vet we saw on our most recent visit. We met Van the vet who was faultless as far as we're concerned. He carefully explained what he was doing when administering the medication and doing his health checks and then explained in easy to understand terms the ongoing diagnosis of our cats various conditions with recommendations for future tests and treatments. None of this would be possible without the extremely helpful and knowledgeable reception staff who accurately guage how urgent things are and book you an appointment accordingly. Top marks to all staff including the nurses who we've used on several occasions although not this time. We love this friendly practice and strongly appreciate the personal touch and it not being entirely automated. A smile and a friendly word goes a very long way (especially when it comes to paying the bill!) We love you Medivet Thorpe Bay 😻
