After graduation, I am going into a purely farm job on the
Suffolk/Norfolk border, at Three Rivers and Chapelfield Farm Vets, and the work
that I had put in previously in order to be able to apply for the award, should help
in this job. One of the tasks I will be doing at the practice, is talking to schools and
helping to educate the children, and hopefully, engaging the children about animal
welfare. As well as this I should have access to the farms needed to continue my
work with Dr Nicola Blackie. The award is very nice recognition of my passion for
farm vetting and I hope it stands me in good stead for the rest of my career.鈥�
