Dr. Alida Sanabria

A New York native, born in Queens to parents of Puerto Rican decent, Dr. Sanabria found her love of pets at a very young age. She followed that passion and attended John Bowne as an Agriculture student where she graduated as a top student within the animal science focus. During her time in high school, she solidified her love of veterinary medicine by gaining work experience in the field starting as a kennel assistant and working her way up.

After graduation, she attended Cornell University where she attained a bachelors in Animal Science. During her time at Cornell she gained leadership experience by partaking in multiple student groups but most significantly by joining her sorority, Latinas Promoviendo Comunidad/Lambda Pi Chi Sorority, Inc.

After Cornell, she took a 3 year break to gain more experiences in the field. During this time she worked as a veterinary assistant at the ASPCA while completing prerequisites for veterinary school. This is where she met Dr. Barnes who was completing an internship as part of her Veterinary Technician education.
