I joined Arden House in 2020 as a VCA, became an SVN in 2022, and qualified as an RVN in April 2026. I love caring for our patients and find nursing such a rewarding job. I’m obsessed with all animals, but cats definitely have a special place in my heart!
Outside of work, I have two cats, Obi and Danny, who I helped hand-rear at Arden House from just two weeks old. I quickly fell in love with them and couldn’t resist taking them home! They have completely different personalities – Obi is a little lone soldier, while Danny is a big attention seeker who is never far from his brother. 🐱❤️
