Take a seat, Dr. Dolittle. Today’s guest works around the world taking care of animals. She is a specialist in wildlife and conservation. Listen. Read along. Share your thoughts [with me].

Hello, I’m Renée Valentina and this is Musing Interruptus. I created Musing Interruptus as a space for my students and anyone interested in discovering idiomatic expressions in different contexts. Thus far, I’ve always written stories and rants. Today, I do what I love doing most: interviewing interesting people. 

Today, we welcome Karina Flores Pineda, woman, veterinarian specialized in wildlife conservation, musicophile, and dear friend.

She comes to us from Gabon, Africa; she is currently overseeing primate care at Gorilla Project Fernan Vaz. Karina is a dear friend to me and the rest of the animal kingdom.
