Field of Greatest Interest
My fields of greatest interest include integrative medicine (TCVM), geriatric and special needs care, pain management, rehabilitation and end of life care. I love treating older pets and helping them maintain their quality of life. I am originally from Venezuela and am fluent in Spanish. In my free time I like to participate in variety of outdoor activities with my family, including hiking and cycling, as well as volunteering for various causes. I love a flash mob (but I am not a great dancer). I have a special needs chihuahua named Gizmo and a Labrador Retriever named Kirby, who was originally a CCI dog but had a career change.
