I was born and raised in Connecticut. English is my first language, but I learned to speak Spanish from my parents who are from Puerto Rico. I decided to go into medicine because I’ve always had a passion to learn and help others. After graduation I went on to serve my home community for ten years as a Family Nurse Practitioner before relocating to Orlando, FL. I have been serving the Central Florida community ever since and look forward to building relationships with my patients and team members. A good day at work for me means that I have developed trusting relationships with my patients and helped them reach their health care goals. I want you to know that at Sanitas patients will receive individualized care that focuses on health care outcomes with empathy in a trusting relationship. When I take off my coat, I love to spend time with my family, friends, and my two puppies: Pheobe and Oliver. I also love to read non-fiction books in my free time.
