Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar

Welcome family, friends and Rotarians around the world! Thanks to the generous support of the Rotary Foundation and Rotary International I have been awarded the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship to continue my studies in Managua, Nicaragua. I welcome you to travel with me and share my adventures, and mis- adventures while adjusting to the culture, continuing my education through my organic beef research project, and fulfilling my ambassadorial duties. Enjoy!

What to say about oneself. I like to think of myself as a person with a passion for life. I like to live fully and I see what life has to offer. To this end I enjoy the arts and traveling in general. Specifically, I like latin dancing, and music from the carribean both english and spanish speaking. I love animals - hence the Vet part. I have a connection with God... that sustains me.

UCC and veterinary medicine


Most of my days are spent at the University. The office where I work is directly next to the veterinary clinic and as a veterinarian I get to consult with the other staff veterinarians on all types of cases. Some simple, others more complex, surgical, medical and involving all types of species. For me it is lots of practice in comparative medicine, palpatoin skills, emergency treatment, and diagnosis using all of your senses because lab test resluts are neither easily nor quickly acuired.

I also have the oppourtunity to help in spay and neter campaigns and equine extension events throughought the country.
