My Bio
I'm an English person living in Scotland in the midst of the Scottish referendum (today is D-day as they say...). In the last six months I have achieved my ambition of becoming a fully fledged zoo-keeper and loving every minute of it! I work with big cats, little cats, wolves, bears, lemurs and small primates (to name but a few).

I live in a beautiful part of the world, albeit a cold one (apparently I'm just not used to it yet... hah!). I am still studying (zoo management) BUT this should be the last until I set my sights on a Phd... but that's years off.

I am obsessed with cheetah, pallas' cats and genets, and have been lucky enough to work closely with each! I love art, but it has been sidetracked for a long time now due to academic life, but I'm slowly trying to filter it back into some sort of routine and aim to produce or work towards something at least once a week :) I'm not too great with digital art, but I'm learning and hopefully improving over time.

I am a friendly person who will generally reply to any requests or messages I'm sent (although there can be times when I'm not around so don't be offended if it's not an instant reply). Think I've waffled on for long enough anyway! :)

Wowzer that last post was a long time ago! I've been away from Devart since Christmas, only managing to pop on once in a while to check messages and such. I think I'm finding more time to get on top of things once again, so hopefully more pics and stuff from me coming soon. Since that last 2014 post I've had a lot of changes, including moving twice - I'm now living up in Scotland where I finally managed to get my dream job working with animals in a zoo. More recently I've introduced two kittens and a puppy to my life. They're all nearing a year old now, so things are starting to calm a little in the house lol. Pics of them to follow shortly

Just fed up with seeing that old update so here's a new one... lots has happened since then, where to start! I've spent an amazing year interning at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent, followed by current work at a zoo in Scotland! A huge change and move for me, but loving it. Even though I miss all the cats at WHF like mad :( I have little free time atm with work and I'm doing a zoo management course at the same time so all time is spent between the two. One month left of this year, then I'll be free :) Until then...
