About Me:
I moved to the UK 22 years ago from Spain, my country of origin. I live in Glasgow with my Canadian husband and my 8-year-old Scottish boy, so we have a multicultural family! I am a vet with a very active mind, so I keep busy learning languages, tattooing, and traveling as much as possible!

I teach Public Health at the Vet School, which means I ensure that animals used for food production are well cared for throughout their lives (and deaths). If you eat meat, it comes from an animal that a vet cared for and that a vet inspected after death to make sure it contained nothing harmful to you. I, specifically, investigate animal welfare issues. If someone was not kind to these animals, I will find out!
I also help UK producers to send their produce to other countries by issuing paperwork regarding the health of animals.

My Typical Day:
I don’t have a typical day, but this is the fun part. Every day is different!!

What I'd do with the prize money:
In the past, I have created virtual reality content on the food chain for university undergraduates.
I would use this money to develop virtual reality food production content appropriate to school-age kids, such as illustrating the farm-to-fork chain to show where the food comes from and the importance of the vet’s role. Using £400 for content developers and £100 to travel to locations and shot the footage.
