Veterinarian
Dr. Donatelli's passion for horses began in early childhood, prompting her to pursue equitation and show jumping lessons at the age of seven. Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, she earned her veterinary medical degree from the Universidade Anhembi Morumbi in 2015. She then completed a one-year internship at Weems & Stephens Equine Hospital in Aubrey, Texas. In 2017, she returned to Brazil, dedicating two years to sports medicine for high-performance show jumpers and dressage horses. In 2019, Dr. Donatelli moved back to Texas and worked in an equine private practice in north Dallas while working towards U.S. accreditation. In 2023, she acquired her Texas veterinary medicine licensure and pursued a fellowship in internal medicine at ESMS in Weatherford, TX. Dr. Donatelli's strong interests are equine neonatology, reproduction and sports medicine.
Outside of her veterinary career, she finds joy in riding her horse and spending time with her husband and dog.
