Co-ordinating reception is quite a demanding job, with telephones ringing, vet’s questions to be answered, orders to be fulfilled and pet owners to assist, at times the position requires two heads and several pairs of hands! However, after 23 years with the practice I think I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I've got used to it!

Initially I was an equine nurse, living down South in Lambourn, Berkshire, but relocated to Boston Spa with my husband Dale who also has a keen interest in horses, as he is a retired jockey. I am a great supporter of The Injured Jockeys Fund, and Alzheimer's Research UK. In my spare time I enjoy walking, socialising with friends and horse racing … that is of course if I'm not too busy running the full-time cab service for my sports mad son George!
