Let me introduce myself .

My name is Erika Zamora Valle.

My ancestral heritage was formed by a traditional midwife grandmother and a traditional hiervera grandmother, I served at the Gynecology-Obstetrics Hospital and had the opportunity to compare a birth at home and in hospitals.

My dream was to be a Pediatrician but I graduated as a Zootechnical Veterinary Doctor, how curious it really is.
