ABOUT ME - EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE
Growing up I was surrounded by animals. My
neighbour had a dining room filled with exotic
animals and bred show cats. She was featured on Blue
Peter and I was aiding her in caring for them all.
My father was a diving instructor and so I was
learning about aquatic animals from a young age.
Then with a dog, cat, goat, horse and a hamster I
was set. Ive always been around a vast number of
species and have studied all my life to work with
them. I have never had any phobias so I threw myself
into education.
I have qualifications in:
The principles of animal science
Animals nutrition
Management of exotics
Aquatics management
Animal handling and husbandry
Animal behaviour
Breed development and welfare
Breeding
Wildlife rehabilitation and management
Animal first aid
Nursing
Pet store management
Welfare of farm livestock
Business management
And I am still learning to this day!
I have swam with Manatees and jumped into the water
with reef sharks in America. Ive been night
snorkelling in Menorca and suddenly found myself
surrounded by jellyfish. This was no more that 100
meters out, they had been washed in just nights
before from a storm. I did get stung but its just
another experience. Ive rescued, rehabilitated and
re-homed unwell and cruelly treated dogs. In a
hydrotherapy pool I aided in the recovery of dogs
after operations. Here I also trained racing dogs
and helped the conditioning of dogs for Crufts. I
study homeopathic remedies for animals to compliment
modern medicine.
My business has led me onto Anglia television, many
radio talk shows and into newspapers.
I have held alligators and been kissed by dolphins.
I deal with aggressive snakes and dogs but with my
handling we always have a good outcome. I am always
calm around animals as everyone should be. There are
many more stories that I could tell you, maybe if we
meet we can exchange them. If you have any questions
then please contact me.
I offer free advice through a phone call and hope
that I can help. |
