Biography

Katie graduated from Glasgow University in 2005 and moved to New Zealand where she spent 12 years working as a dairy herd health consultant in the Waikato.  She completed a Masters in Veterinary Epidemiology at Massey University in Palmerston North in New Zealand in 2012.  Katie has put her epidemiology skills to good use, working in a commercial research environment and has published several peer reviewed papers on colostrum management and calf health.  She is also interested in dairy fertility and mastitis and is experienced in teaching farmers and other vets; motivating people to make changes to improve farm profitability and sustainability.  Katie is a keen runner and tennis player.  She has two small children and lives with her husband (also a vet) in Stirlingshire. She joined the University of Glasgow team in 2018.
