I started my career in dog behaviour when I was 18 by volunteering at my local dog rescue centre. I was also shadowing puppy classes near me at the same time and I quickly realised that this was the path I wanted to follow.

I then went to Anglia Ruskin University where I studied BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and gained the fundamental knowledge on animal behaviour which I applied to my training methods. I continued my educational journey by completing a post graduate certificate in Animal Behaviour, Welfare Ethics and Law at University of Winchester.

I am a proud member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT - M01587) since 2022. Being a part of the APDT means I meet the learning and understanding requirements to be a part of the ABTC (Animal Behaviour and Training Council). In 2023 I completed the Aggression in Master Course by Michael Shikashio so I am now able to provide owners with help for their aggressive and reactive dogs.

In 2025, I passed my application for the provisional Clinical Animal Behaviourist with the Association of Pet Behaviour counsellors (APBC). Provisional members have demonstrated that they have the appropriate level of Knowledge and Understanding for the professional role of Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB). I am now gaining the practical experience necessary to be assessed as a CAB and therefore become a Full member of the APBC. The APBC supports its Provisional members undertaking behaviour consultations.

I share my home with an 8 year old Goldendoodle called Bruce who loves scentwork, mantrailing and hydrotherapy.
