About

I am a wildlife veterinarian devoted to the study of infectious diseases in wild animals and its applications into conservation. Ultimately, my goal is to contribute to the sustainability of wild animal populations and ecosystems through critical research and help in raising public awareness. I'm active, enthusiastic and I enjoy taking the initiative as well as working with people. Every challenge is a new opportunity to grow and overcome myself, which I put into practice more often than not.
