Dr. Herrera was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. She grew up with dogs in the family and a love for animals. Dr. Herrera graduated with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles (Go Bruins!). She then went on to attend Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed her clinical education at Colorado State University School of Veterinary Medicine. Since finishing veterinary school, she jumped straight into clinical practice working for a busy small animal clinic in Monrovia, California.
Dr. Herrera recently moved down to sunny San Diego after getting married to her college sweetheart, and they are in the process of adding four paws to their family! When Dr. Herrera isn’t taking care of her patients, her hobbies include visiting new restaurants, hiking, and traveling all around the world.
