At Sanitas, I help my patients feel better by giving them the best care and sending them home with a smile. Not all illnesses can be cured by medications—a simple touch can make a big difference in how a patient feels, and sincere reassurance and warmth in a voice reinforces it. A good day at work is when a sick patient feels better, and I’ve been able to make them smile. I was born in Quezon City and grew up in Manila, Philippines. Emigrating for better training and job opportunities, I landed in New York and later moved to Tallahassee. I speak English and Tagalog. I’m passionate about caring for people, listening to their concerns, learning from their stories, and coaching them on optimal health and well-being. I enjoy the challenge of learning new things, then sharing it with my patients so they can live healthier. When I’m not working, I spend time with my family and enjoy cooking for them. I also like playing golf to relax, free my mind and enjoy nature.
