Jovanna Radillo, MPPA, DVM

Born and raised in the city of Los Angles, I am a first generation Mexican American who has been in the small animal field for more than 14 years. I studied at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, with my focus being small animal medicine. I also have a master's in public policy and administration from Sacramento State University. I am currently an area chief of staff in the LA market. I enjoy my time developing doctors and UC Davis veterinary students with active mentor participation in their communication labs. On my days off, I try to find my balance by staying active, particularly through weight lifting, reading, and traveling. Compassion fatigue, depression, and anxiety are definitely areas of interest to me. Each day as a veterinarian I face challenges that have the power to be sinkers. However, with active realization, there are so many tools to reconnect with this amazing profession.
