Firstly - timing - Having had plans to go away after graduation for a few months, I waned a constructive, useful way of spending June and July, especially as I don't sit idly very well!

When the job came up, it was an excellent way of earning money and keeping my knowledge up-to-date. I always feared that my veterinary knowledge might go stale while I was out of the loop, but hopefully not now! :)

I am writing new articles for WIKIVet from a range of resources and also creating revision/consolidation tools such as flashcards and case based questions for students to work through.

I think these will go down really well and only wish they were around for me a few months ago!

==About Me==
I love the outdoors, travelling, rosé wine and of course, animals :)
Having now finished vet school, I am applying for jobs in mixed practice, and a few in farm specialist practice as this is where my main interests lie, I just don't think I'm ready to totally let go of dogs and cats yet! A good team in a pretty part of the country with lots of cows doesn't seem like too much to ask does it...
Outside of vet school. I love to kayak, camp, hike and wild swim (I bought the book before they made the silly program!). I am also a scuba diver and diving the Great Barrier Reef earlier this year with 6m manta rays was a true highlight of my life.
Which brings me on to another massive passion; travelling. I take every opportunity I get to see the world and have done veterinary placements in South Africa, the Czech Republic and Australia, ranging from large game to mixed practice and a reptile/avian summer school! Some say indecisive, I say curious :) I am a strong believer that travel broadens the mind and feeds the soul, even if it doesn't always feed the stomach!!
And of course, my lovely boyfriend deserves a mention for putting up with the ogre that was me during finals. It must be his medical training that gave him the patience!
