Roxy has joined JMICAWE on a 6-month contract, working with Heather Bacon & Louise Connelly to develop education resources in dog population management.
Roxanne moved to Edinburgh in 2007 to study Biological Sciences at the University of Edinburgh after spending her childhood abroad, mostly in the Middle East and Asia. After earning her Honours Bachelor's degree, she continued her studies in Veterinary Nursing at the College of Animal Welfare. Roxanne qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2015 and began her career working at the University of Edinburgh’s Hospital for Small Animals, working as a surgical veterinary nurse within the hospital and then progressing to specialist orthopaedic nurse. The teaching referral hospital allowed her to fulfil her interests in both referral level veterinary nursing as well as teaching the veterinary students and trainee veterinary nurses.
Since July 2018, Roxanne has spent her time volunteering in Sri Lanka and India with two animal welfare charities with a focus on street dog population control and rabies immunisation.
Yesterday was our team project review day, followed by our post-Christmas office party - quite the first day for Roxy! We welcome her to the team and look forward to working with her over the next six months.
