MEET THE SPEAKER
Dr. Proença is our founder and CEO. She is the first South American to become a Diplomate of the American College of Zoological Medicine (DACZM), with an emphasis on zoological companion animals (a.k.a. exotics). She has 17+ years of experience and has extensive experience in teaching, and training, and has lectured in many national and international events. Dr. Proença is passionate about sharing knowledge and is always excited to speak about what she loves.
Dr. Proença did her Zoological Medicine residency at the University of Georgia, where she developed a special interest for ZooMed endoscopy and minimally invasive techniques, collaborating to produce several publications including novel techniques in endosurgery. She is the co-editor of the 2015 Exotic Endoscopy issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America. Dr. Proença has been actively participating in the zoological medicine community, teaching many national and international lectures, courses, masterclasses, and wet labs, including endoscopy courses.
Dr Proença also loves to speak about diversity, feminism, equality, and related topics. Please feel free to contact us to see if we can be of help and a good fit for your event!
