Jen relocated to the Island but she grew up in Hertfordshire. She spent her childhood years visiting the Island with her family, staying on a local farm in Whitwell where she helped with day to day chores during her stays which initiated her love of the Isle of Wight.
Jen started her veterinary nursing career at 18 and qualified in August 2009. During this time Jen has worked in general practice, travelled to South Africa to work with big cats and has spent the 8 years previously working as a referral specialist nurse.
Jen has also obtained a certificate in ISFM advanced feline friendly nursing as is the practice cat advocate. She loves looking after cats in practice and uses her knowledge from the certificate to make their stay as stress free as possible.
Jen enjoys all aspects of veterinary nursing but has a keen interest in physiotherapy, rehabilitation & acupuncture and referral work.
Jen enjoys her spare time with her children exploring the Island. She owns two cats, Benedict & Beatrice and a lively Labrador called Lloyd as well as having family cats and labrador that visit the island regularly when family stay.
