Building expertise through experience and training.
‘Veterinary medicine is one of the most rewarding and challenging careers, which is why I have a strong commitment to professional and personal growth through continuing education. Although I completed my education in Costa Rica in 1993, I proudly completed a demanding program to get my license as a DVM in the United States. I am excited to join an outstanding group of professionals at Sylvan Veterinary Hospital, and to add my energy and desire for success… as well as some Costa Rican flavor!’
