She has a background in equine education, contributing to the development of equine courses and is a Pony Club AH assessor. Irene works with horses and their guardians to engender an empathetic and educated approach. It was a Romanian rescue dog who sparked her desire to research and study canines, with qualifications in teaching, training, bereavement, animal cruelty and well-being. She gained an Advanced Diploma in Canine Psychology and Behaviour in 2018, an Anthrozoology MA in 2022 and is currently a PhD student at the University of Exeter. She has a particular interest in the well-being and rights of human and non-human animals, and engendering cohesive interspecies relationships. Irene lives with and fosters Romanian rescue dogs and can often be found walking with them over Exmoor.
