Carolina graduated in sunny southern Spain in 2006, where she worked in private practice before moving to Scotland in 2007 to undertake an imaging internship at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh, which lead to an imaging residency, an RCVS certificate in imaging in 2010, an MSc in 2012 and the European Diploma in Veterinary Diagnostics Imaging in 2015.

She has worked as a clinician in private practice and enjoys the fast pace and collaboration of the multidisciplinary hospitals while always making sure everyone has a good laugh. Although she enjoys all imaging modalities she specially likes oncology the impact imaging has on the management of oncology cases. She has been a member of the Scottish BSAVA committee and have lectured post and undergraduates.

During her time in the UK she has managed to build a family of 2 adults, three kids, 2 dogs and a cat, which keeps her busy and entertained. Her “after-bed time” hobbies include sewing, reading and eating.
