Bakers, Baristas and the Journey to ZooMed
Whatever she has accomplished — moving from Brazil to the U.S., transitioning into ZooMed, founding Vetahead — Dr. Lyla Proença has made a leap of faith and deep passion to pursue her dreams. In this episode of VetFolio Voice, Dr. Proença shares her journey of validating her veterinary diploma in the United States after moving from Brazil. She reveals the work, sweat and tears, and even how she considered changing career paths, which led her to ZooMed and the founding of VetAhead. Dr. Cassi and Dr. Proença discuss the core values that are the foundational support of VetAhead, the importance of access to knowledge for all veterinary professionals, and access to care for all species. They cover the importance of critical thinking when it comes to managing exotic species and the importance of recognizing and preserving the human animal bond with species beyond just dogs and cats.
