Overview
I am a Lecturer in Animal Behaviour & Welfare, with specialism in natural odours and pheromones to reduce stress in mammals. I completed a FdSc and BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare at the University West of England (UWE-Hartpury) where I focused my research on domestic cats and use of vertical space. I then completed an MSc in Animal Behaviour at the University of Exeter completing research on the efficacy of Pet Remedy to reduce stress in dogs. I have recently completed a DPhil titled 'The effect of odours and synthetic pheromones on reducing stress-related behaviour in the confined domestic dog'. I have been in my current role as a Lecturer at Hartpury since 2015. I am a member of the University's Animal and Agriculture Research Group and academic member of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors (APBC).
