About us
Why VETERISPHERE?
Animals have always held a central place in my life and have guided my career path. As a veterinarian, I have been fortunate to experience diverse professional opportunities, each of which opened my eyes to the importance of animal welfare—not only for the animals themselves but also for humans and the balance of our environment. These realizations, fueled by a deep sensitivity and a desire to take action, naturally led me to create VETERISPHERE.
This expert office aims to combine scientific expertise, ethics, and respect for life to deliver tailored and sustainable solutions. VETERISPHERE is the result of a sincere commitment, focused on listening and collaboration to advance together toward greater harmony between species.
As a passionate and dedicated veterinarian, my career has led me to explore various fields, ranging from companion animal medicine to biomedical research and ethical wildlife management. My experiences, at the intersection of science, ethics, and animal welfare, have enabled me to develop a global and interdisciplinary vision. Specialized in animal health, ethics, and welfare, I combine scientific rigor and personal sensitivity to address the complex challenges linked to the relationship between animals, humans, and their environment. Today, I bring this diverse expertise to innovative and responsible projects.
