Public talks
I'm incredibly lucky to have a career I love and enjoy sharing my passion with others.
I deliver talks for the general public or interest groups on a combination of topics including:
School and College Engagement
As a little girl from a comprehensive school who naturally did well in everything but the sciences, I am passionate about sharing my experience with others in the hope that they too can achieve their dreams and ambitions. I love speaking at school and college awards ceremonies about my career journey and motivations.

As a Mum working in science, I am also keen to encourage the next generation into careers which will benefit science and the natural world and be an advocate for women in STEM.
I can visit your nursery, pre-school or primary school, in character as a real life "Vicky the Vet", and deliver engaging and interactive science and careers based sessions. The sessions will introduce the children to topics and concepts such as healthy bodies, 'what people do' and basic scientific principles through a combination of hands-on exploration, sensory play and music.
