The staff team were thinking and we all felt that it would be fun to do a meet & greet so that we can all start to get to know each other better! Feel free to introduce yourself and share a couple of fun facts about you, whatever you feel comfortable with! Of course, thank you to Hoot for initially bringing up the idea of a meet & greet.

Right. So, I'm Truce! I've been writing on and off since 2011, back when it was totally acceptable to post a five word IC response. I'm pretty much a textbook INTP and also a textbook Taurus which I think is funny. Baby pink is my favourite colour, and I think currently I am the site's token British person - I've not come across another Brit in quite some time! One of my lifelong dreams is to cuddle a tapir, and I have a list of names on my phone that I would like to name future pets.

I love travelling and spent a large chunk of my childhood flying across the globe! I have a bunch of wild stories to tell about my time growing up; give me a continent and I've probably got a story. I've visited five of seven continents but another goal of mine is to visit every continent at least once! I have no idea how I will visit Antarctica but that is a concern for another time FHGJKL

Also, I really love to cook and bake. I can't say that I'm very good at it but I do like to make meals for people! One of my favourite meals to cook is crepes with a creamy chicken, mushroom and spinach filling; I am still trying to perfect my recipe to accurately recreate the dish I used to always eat at this one independent restaurant when I lived in the UAE.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a vet. My nan worked at a vet clinic where I would stay after school until my parents got home from work so I got a see a lot of really cool stuff there! Except for the one time I saw the end result of a fight between two hyenas (this was Dubai; it's not a misconception when people say that every rich person owns an exotic ❛ pet ❜ GFJHGJKL). I won't go into detail but I will say this: do you know that a hyena has one of the strongest jaws in the animal world? Their bite force is stronger than a bengal tiger's!

Now, in four days time, I will finally start studying veterinary medicine and surgery so that I can actually follow that dream of mine! Honestly, I am so excited to get started; I have worked so hard to get to this point and it is a career path that I am absolutely in love with. It's early days but I know I have a passion for large animal practice like farm livestock and equine, but I'm also really interested in zoos and conservation. I have a lot to choose between in the next few years!

Lastly, I was recently appointed the role of admin on Bearbones alongside the lovely Cygnus and I am so dedicated to the site, as is the rest of the team! We have so many ideas for the site and I am really looking forward to developing ideas with the team to hopefully create the very best version of the site!
