Olivia Young

Olivia graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019 with a BSc (Hons) in Bioveterinary Sciences. She went on to complete an MSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy through Writtle University College, now Anglia Ruskin University, graduating in 2024. Alongside her postgraduate studies, she also obtained a Level 4 Diploma in Canine Hydrotherapy in 2023, awarded by the Skills and Education Group.

Her academic background reflects a strong interest in both clinical practice and research. Her undergraduate dissertation focused on epidemiology exploring the association of dog breed size on longevity and mortality. This work was later adapted and presented at the BSAVA Congress 2020. For her MSc dissertation, she investigated biomechanics and the effect of cavaletti pole heights on the canine joints.

Born in Norway, Olivia has lived in five countries including the USA, Scotland, Canada, and now England. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, roller skating, video gaming, crochet, and peaceful walks around duck ponds. She also shares her home with two much-loved cats: Lottie, a domestic shorthair, and Rylee, a Maine Coon cross.
