As a dedicated and compassionate Physician Assistant (PA), I am driven by a profound understanding of the interconnectedness between physical and mental health. Recognizing that addressing both aspects is crucial for overall well-being, I am committed to delivering the highest quality care in a judgment-free environment, fostering collaborative partnerships with my clients.
I recently graduated with a Master of Physician Assistant Practice from Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago, IL. My educational journey also includes a Bachelor of Business Administration from Universidad del Turabo in Orlando, FL, and a Master of Healthcare Administration from Louisiana State University-Shreveport.
Drawing from a decade-long career as a Navy Hospital Corpsman, I have honed invaluable skills in patient care, education, and healthcare administration. The discipline, teamwork, and adaptability instilled during my military service enrich my practice in the civilian healthcare sector. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I am passionate about providing inclusive and culturally sensitive care to a diverse patient population.
Clinical rotations during my physician assistant training exposed me to various specialties, including psychiatry, primary care, and emergency medicine. These experiences provided me with a nuanced understanding of patient backgrounds and socioeconomic factors, enhancing my ability to deliver personalized and effective care.
My genuine interest in the complexities of mental health has drawn me to specialize in psychiatry. As a newly graduated physician assistant in this field, I eagerly anticipate making a positive impact on the mental well-being of my clients. With a holistic approach to healthcare and a commitment to understanding the unique needs of each individual, I am dedicated to contributing to the mental health and overall wellness of those under my care.
