Krystle started nursing in 2005 but in 2007 decided to go travelling for a short while in Greece. After an amazing 6 year adventure it was time to return to England! Krystle returned to nursing in 2014 and will obtain her full Royal College qualifications in 2017. Krystle has had many years of experience and worked with many different types of animals.
Krystle likes all areas of nursing and has a keen interest in exotic species especially raptors, owls and reptiles. With three snakes, a cat that’s mad as a hatter, a blind guinea pig and totally bonkers pony Krystle is kept busy (and entertained) at home.
When not working or with her animals Krystle can usually be found walking/running in the New Forest or spending hours with a good book.
