Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up in Bogota, Colombia where my mother owned a doggy daycare. I helped at the facility by playing with and training the animals, and I fell in love with dogs and cats. During high school, I shadowed at clinics my mom worked with, which sparked my interest in veterinary medicine. 

I completed my undergraduate and veterinary studies at the University de La Salle in Bogota and earned my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine degree through the Educational Commission for Foreign Veterinary Graduates (ECFVG) program. 

I became licensed in Florida, where I mainly practiced small animal medicine. I also have experience in non-profit organizations, shelter medicine, and emergency care, and I have special interests in neurology and ophthalmology. 

Helping animals is my passion, and I know how devastating it can be to lose a special pet because I’ve had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to two of mine. The experiences helped me realize that it is important to be unselfish and put the animal first so they don’t suffer. I want to help pet owners in these situations by taking on some of their burden during this difficult time. 

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and traveling to create new experiences and memories with my kids.
