Dr Fernando graduated from The University of Chile in 2012 and successfully finished a Diploma in Domestic Cats Medicine a year after. He worked for nearly two years in an Emergency clinic back home and finally moved to Australia in 2016.

He started working as a vet nurse while he was preparing for his Australian Veterinary Association exams and achieved Australian registration in July 2019. Having an special interest in cats, his aim is to keep studying to become an Specialist.
