About

Hello! My name is Carla Vaca Hurtado, and I was originally born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia but have been living in Naples, FL for the past 20 years. My career goals include going to medical school and getting specialized in surgery. When I was 17 years old, I was able to see my first surgery at NCH, in which happened to be a knee replacement surgery and ever since then I fell in love with surgery. After I acquire my medical degree I would like to volunteer my time to travel and offer my service to clinics in foreign countries. When I am not traveling I would like to settle down in Naples, FL where I grew up.
