I am a first generation Guatemalan-American, Bay Area native born & raised. I am the eldest of 4 daughters & have been in the veterinary field since 2009. My experience ranges from specialty & emergency to being a lead technician and more recently, a practice manager. I love being in general practice and especially love working with pocket pets and exotics. I have two cats, Bagheera and Thunder, but I’m definitely more of a dog & reptiles kind of gal. When I am not working, you can find me at live music events, paddle boarding, reading or exploring the Bay Area foodie scene with friends [citation].
