Maya Baugh
Maya is one of our fifth year SAIN members.
She is from North Yorkshire and has an absolutely-crackers 15 years old Border Collie called Nellie – her favourite thing is unwrapping Christmas presents with her. She adores guinea pigs ever since getting one at age 7 (called Lucy) – surprisingly Lucy and Nellie got on extremely well. She enjoys horse riding and working at her local stables, baking (her Lemon Drizzle cake is to die for) and walking. She has a keen interest in international animal welfare issues and will hopefully starting volunteering with the Trusty Paws Outreach programme very soon.

Karolina is one of our fifth year SAIN members.
She has lived in Glasgow for 15 years now and started the vet medicine course right after graduating secondary school. She has a cat called Brenda and is interested in feline medicine. In her spare time, she likes walking, running, and playing tennis (badly!). Karolina is very excited to join the committee and be part of such a lovely team!
Sarah Towler
Sarah is our fourth year SAIN member and current SAIN president.
Sarah is from Richmond, Virginia and graduated from the University of Virginia in 2016 before starting vet school in 2019. After UVA, she worked as a zoo keeper in the Midwest before returning to Charlottesville, VA to work in shelter medicine. While at the Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA she worked in the clinic and surgery, managing the shelter's feline wards, and frequently brought home foster cats and kittens. Her veterinary interests include shelter medicine, emergency medicine, and cardiology, with a particular love for her feline patients. She has two pets, a cat named Misty who was a rescue from CASPCA, and Cora- a very active Gordon setter. Outside of school she enjoys spin, tennis, playing the harp, and trying to keep a sourdough starter alive.
Aoife Haigh
Aoife is one of our third year SAIN members.
Aoife is from Manchester and is so far loving her time in Glasgow. She has been volunteering for different animal charities for the past five years and is very excited to be part of a new one in her new home! In Manchester, Aoife loves horse riding, walking her slightly crazy rescue dog, Leah, reading and swimming. She started her veterinary journey in Glasgow fresh out of college and can’t wait to meet new people and have lots of exciting new experiences over the next five years.
Liv Norman
Olivia is one of our third year SAIN members.
Olivia is from Colchester in Essex. She is really excited to be part of the Glasgow SAIN committee. She has worked on a Therapy Farm Charity for the last two years (and she personally has a beautiful Labrador called Meg) so has experienced the incredible impact animals can have on peoples’ lives. She is not sure where veterinary medicine will take her, but currently has a keen interest in ethics, welfare and the protection of animals, especially those that are vulnerable and in need. She is looking forward to continuing work with a charity now that she is in Glasgow. In her spare time, she loves to swim, relax with friends and family or read a good book!
Hibah Mahmood
Hibah is one of our second year SAIN members.
She is born and raised in Glasgow and has had pets ranging from fish to hamsters to birds and cats growing up. She started at the Vet School right after finishing high school and is loving her time here learning and being around animals so far. She has a keen interest in marine mammal medicine but would like to explore all her options throughout the course and her veterinary career. In her free time she likes reading, swimming, listening to music and just chilling with pals.

Abbie is one our second year SAIN members. Abbie is from the gorgeous Isle of Skye. She previously worked for three years in a mixed animal veterinary centre as a part-time animal care assistant before starting university, so most of her experience is with farm animals and dogs and cats. Although I don't have much experience with exotic animals, it's an interest she is excited to pursue! At home, she has three cats, a dog, a guinea pig, a giant African land snail and some chickens, and during my time at university so far they've been what she is missing the most! When Abbie is not studying, she enjoys reading, running and watching Netflix. Eilidh is one our second year SAIN members. Eilidh was born and raised in Edinburgh and has had pets ranging from hamsters to dogs to horses growing up. She started at the Vet School after finishing high school and is loving the course so far! She has a keen interest in equine and farm animals but would love to further her knowledge and change her mind as she progress through the years. In Eilidh's free time she likes swimming, horse riding and going out to try new foods. |
