Nikki, a self-confessed โcrazy cat ladyโ and โstudy geekโ, has been an RVN since 2000. She is a cat advocate and consulting nurse for a small animal practice in Fife, and is studying for multiple certificates.
Not satisfied with gaining her first undergraduate degree at 50, she is now going on to study Clinical Animal Behaviour at The University of Edinburgh, with a view to becoming a practice-based clinical animal behaviourist.
She will also be joining BVNA council and serving a three-year term in October.
