I am a Senior Lecturer and Equine Programme Team Leader at SRUC's Oatridge Campus. I lecture across all the levels of equine courses that SRUC offer. The main subjects I teach include: Equine Nutrition, Advanced Equine Nutrition, Equine Anatomy and Physiology, Research Skills and Data Analysis, and Equine Behaviour. As well as my academic qualifications I also hold the British Horse Society Stage 4 Senior Coach in Complete Horsemanship (BHSII) qualification.
My research interests focus on gut-brain axis communication. I am particularly interested in how diet effects gut microbiota, and how this may influence behaviour and brain neurochemistry in horses.
