About me

I am a Veterinary student at the RVC in London.

I have a passion for birds, especially parrots and birds of prey. I hope to become an avian vet on qualifying.

I am originally from Bracknell in Berkshire, but currently live outside Stratford-upon-Avon with my varied assortment of pets-ranging from goats to guinea-pigs. My two cockatiels are my favourite animals and usually come with me everywhere.

What I hope to get out of this project

This project will be a useful way of revising and learning anatomy again. Creating hyperlinks to other sections of wikivet will enable me to integrate my knowledge and get to know other veterinary students from other vet schools to help with certain subjects. Hopefully the people I meet now and the contacts made will last throughout my career.

My best learning experience in the past

Visiting Uganda to help build a school in Kampala and seeing the difference small acts can make.

Curriculum area that interests me

Avian medicine.

Topics that are difficult

Drugs!! Learning the names and actions of loads of different drugs, especially for exams is the most difficult part of the veterinary course (so far).

Day one thoughts

What (three things) I learn't today

How to edit Wiki
That the wiki schools project is world-wide
That composing a wiki page is actually very straight forward

What I still need to learn

Copywright
Imaging

How I feel about what has happened today

Putting things into practice was actually very simple. To start with a lot of information was given to us all in a short space of time, but when things start coming together and each page starts to take shape, it feels very rewarding.

Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)

Sections I've been working on

Digestion

What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project

Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee
