Dr. Capella received her undergraduate at the University of Maryland College Park in 2015 and doctorate degree from Virginia Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine in 2019 with particular interests in internal and exotic veterinary medicine. She became medial director of the practice in the end of 2025 and continues to pursue continuing education in exotic and companion medicine, with a focus on the introduction of new diagnostics and techniques to our practice and enjoys mentoring veterinary students and new graduates. She is also an active participant in the Maryland Veterinary Medical Association. She now lives in Maryland with her wife, Jen, and their pets including Nova (pit bull), Smokey (Pomeranian), Sunny (beagle), and Estrellita and Luna (cats). When not at work, you can find Dr. Capella out on the soccer field, on a hike, or trying out new restaurants/food recipes, as eating (a little too much sometimes) is also a favorite hobby!
