Meet Dr. Maryam (Mirzaie), a dedicated veterinarian with a profound love for animals and a journey rooted in the nature where she grew up (Iran, Gilan).

It was here, amidst the diverse array of wildlife, that her passion for animals was ignited, laying the foundation for her future endeavors in veterinary medicine. Dr. Maryam Graduated from the Tabriz Veterinary school in 2012. Following her veterinary studies, Dr. Maryam pursued her passion for research, delving into the realm of animal food science as a Ph.D. candidate and graduated in 2017.
