Since childhood, my life has been permeated with a love for nature and animals. 
In the home where I grew up, animals became our loyal companions – cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits. My happiest childhood memory was that my mother took me to a national reserve where I met a huge variety of wild animals and they were all so mesmerizingly beautiful, with huge intelligent eyes (not counting the llama who spat in people's faces and stole hats, but it was fun😅).
During school years, I became an active member of the local ecological center, caring for rodents and reptiles. In university, my passion for biology found its professional realization. I also traveled around Europe staying in people's homes to look after their animals while they were away.
