a note on my writing: 

Everything I share- the ideas, the stories, my personal and professional experience walking beside animals and their people, is entirely my own. I use AI tools the way I would work with an editor or proofreader: to help organise my thoughts, tighten wording, correct grammar, and catch typos. Every piece is shaped, reviewed, and finalised by me, and reflects my lived experience.

My voice is my own, and sharing openly how I work is part of honouring the trust you place in me.
