She really enjoys nursing intensive care patients, nurse clinics and consultations. Beverly is also very passionate about vet nurse training and the future of veterinary nursing. In her spare time she loves getting out on her horse or spending time with family and friends. Beverly currently has a cat called Peaches and a horse called Pepper Touch.
