Since childhood I showed a strong interest and bond with animals. Born and raised in the tropical island of Puerto Rico, I had the opportunity of owning multiple dogs, rabbits, chickens and cats that seeded my interest in veterinary medicine. I completed a DVM degree from Ross University in 2005 and performed my clinical study year at Auburn University. In Auburn, I married Dr. McNamara and currently enjoy spending time with our 3 year old daughter, Elora. For the past 7 years I have been practicing strictly small animal medicine where my strong interpersonal skills, compassion and love for animals have been very rewarding. With special interest in diagnostic imaging and surgery, I have spent the last 5 years performing ultrasounds, practicing high quality medicine and performing routine surgeries and some other special surgical procedures in the area of Tampa, Florida. With this experience, I plan to bring new ideas, compassion and quality medicine to the existing Surfside clients as well as Stuart residents.
