After graduating from Montclair State University with a Biology degree, her wanderlust and passion to explore inspired a move to the Caribbean, where she obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at Ross University in Saint Kitts. Not too long after that Carla found herself exploring the world of alternative medicine, completing certifications in Canine Rehabilitation and Veterinary Acupuncture.
