As a mixed practice vet, her knowledge is extensive, from internal medicine, dermatology, dentistry, orthopaedics, reproduction, ophthalmology or surgery in all the diverse species, to being on farms, pregnancy testing cattle all day.

She lived and managed a cattle property first with then without her husband for many years, breeding Angus bulls. In those years she became an expert in regenerative agriculture with emphasis on soil microbiology and climate science.
