Biography

Erica's first technical position was as a necropsy technician at a medical research company in the West Midlands. Here, she undertook duties in the pathology department associated with general toxicology and reproductive studies. Following a move to the South East, Erica then trained and qualified as a Registered Hearing Aid Audiologist. This involved testing patients' hearing, prescribing appropriate hearing aids, and providing subsequent aftercare.

She then returned to a technical position in what was originally a temporary role at the Royal Veterinary College's Camden campus. A keen interest in Veterinary Anatomy and it's teaching lead her to the newly formed vet school here at Nottingham University.
