Holly started her veterinary nurse training at a small animal practice in Staffordshire in 2004 and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2008 from Bottle Green Training LTD. Post qualifying, Holly went on to work in a busy tier 3 veterinary hospital for 2 years and then left to volunteer at Tasikoki Wildlife Centre in Indonesia for 2 months.

Holly joined Langford Vets in 2011, where she began her role as a night nurse and went on to work within the ICU. In 2013 she gained her certificate in emergency and critical care (CertVNECC) and stepped into the head ICU nurse role at Langford vets. Holly achieved the veterinary technician specialist status in emergency and critical care (VTS(ECC)) in 2015 and in 2021 was awarded the diploma in advanced veterinary nursing (DipAVN) from Harper Adams University.
