Mini bio
How it started.
Arah launched her YouTube channel in October 2013. Her early work included makeup hauls, tutorials, challenges and everyday vlogs, according to Famous Birthdays. By 2019, she was also making videos about the cost of vet school, its study timeline and surgery days as a student.
Finding her subject.
Her veterinary studies became a central part of her online work. A 2021 SubSelfie interview documented an audience for both her lifestyle posts and veterinary content while she was still a student. By 2023, PhilSTAR Life was highlighting her explanations of pet food safety, illnesses and pet products, alongside her account of becoming a veterinarian.
Beyond the screen.
Arah also meets pet owners and fellow vets in person. She offered free consultations at the 2025 International Pet Summit and joined Biyaya Animal Care’s Bohol delegation in February 2026. Plaridel credits her and Dr. Leatrize Gonzales as organizers of the first Vet Summit Philippines in 2026.
