Changing animals' lives for the better

Research fellow in farm animal welfare at the University of Leeds

For more than 20 years, I've been working with and training animals, using evidence-based approaches to behavioural management.  I have a MSc from the University of Edinburgh, a PhD from the University of Glasgow and I've lectured on undergraduate animal science degree courses.   Having worked extensively with dogs and horses, I'm currently a post-doctoral research fellow in farm animal welfare at the University of Leeds, working specifically with pigs.
