Our Staff

Chelsea

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and have been working in the veterinary field for 9 years. I will soon be a mother to my second human baby.

I also have 6 fur babies at home. Most days, I practically live in South Broward taking care of your pets, but I always enjoy going home to my full house and spending time with my family.

Daniela

My name is Daniela, and I’ve been a receptionist and a vet assistant at South Broward Animal Hospital since 2017.

My favorite thing about my job, aside from helping animals in need, is having the opportunity to learn something new every day and passing on that knowledge to pet owners.

I recently graduated from Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in Sustainability and Environmental Studies. Now that I am out of school,

I have more time to spend with my three senior citizen dogs, Fifi, Lola, and Shiki! They are all rescue Yorkies, and I love them very much!
