My journey in healthcare began in 2013 as a paramedic right after high school, evolving into a deeply rewarding career. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Ana G. Méndez University in Florida in 2024. My clinical background includes experience in critical care, emergency services, and managing both chronic and acute conditions as an APRN.

Beyond clinical practice, I’ve also had the privilege of serving as a Health Specialist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), contributing to national public health initiatives. I’m honored to have received the Guardian of Excellence Award from Press Ganey, a reflection of my ongoing commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. Outside of work, I enjoy water sports, hiking, and spending quality time with family and friends.

I became a nurse practitioner because I wanted to provide more comprehensive care and be more involved in guiding my patients’ health. I value the NP role for its blend of clinical expertise and the ability to build strong, trusting relationships that support patients.

Growing up, I saw how high healthcare costs affected my community. Becoming a nurse practitioner allows me to provide compassionate, accessible care to those who need it most.

I chose St. Hope because its mission aligns with my passion for compassionate, community-centered care. I also believe it’s a place where I can continue to grow as a nurse practitioner and make a meaningful impact.
