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. 

​​

"What Vicky said to our year 11 students was truly inspirational and the best out of all such speeches I've heard.

​

She spoke engagingly and memorably and gave a very powerful message to a hall full of young people, their parents and carers.

​

Her speech gave the event a very positive feeling and everyone will have left with a renewed view of the future and their part in it."
