Her biggest dream was to be part of a veterinary center, and Dr. Ezik gave her the opportunity to begin fulfilling her goals. She enjoys taking Peluche, her 7 year old mini-toy poodle to the park, and seeing him interact with other dogs is her biggest pleasure. Peluche, was given to Johanna when she was only 13 years old, which underlines the importance he signifies to her, and her loving mother. Furthermore, she spends her valuable weekends working at a restaurant in Tenafly. Eventually, Johanna’s goal is to continue her studies, and pursue her doctorate degree in Veterinarian Medicine.
