Nathaly was born and raised in New York.

At four years old she became passionate about animals after visiting her uncle's farm and witnessing all the homeless dogs that roamed the streets of the Dominican Republic. 

Throughout the years Nathaly has focused her efforts on her other passions until she accepted a job at Petco which reignited her childhood dreams to work with animals. She’s currently in school to become a licensed veterinary technician.

When Nathaly is not at work she’s spending time with her family, friends, and Moon - her adorable rabbit, as well as learning new languages, reading, and watching tv/movies.
