Lorena was born in Padova, Italy, and also spent time in Germany as a child after her parents moved there. In addition to English and Italian, she also speaks German and even a bit of French Lorena first came to the United States 35 years ago to help her husband manage an American Paint Horse ranch in northern Durham. Through plenty of hard work and dedication, Lorena came to adore the devotion and love that she received from the animals she cared for. She’s known that pet care was her true calling ever since Lorena first joined the Triangle Veterinary Hospital team in 2004 after being referred here by a friend and client. Her favorite part of the work is getting to see happy, healthy pets be returned to their loving and appreciative owners. Lorena and her husband, Charles, live in Haw River. They have two grown sons, Franco and Marco [citation].
