Hello, I’m Nicky

Communications strategist and Introvert Advocate

Veterinary nurse turned communications strategist, I’m the founder of Leo Veterinary Communications, a freelance and consultancy service for animal health brands, agencies and thought leaders who want their message to mean something.

I've worked with some of the biggest animal health brands like Mars Veterinary Health, Vetoquinol, Elanco, Dechra, Purina Institute, Royal Canin and more.

Whether I’m translating complex science into compelling copy, helping a team refine their brand voice, or bringing calm to a high-stakes RFP, I enjoy deep, focused work that makes an impact.
