¿Qué le hizo elegir la carrera en el sistema de salud?
I chose a career in healthcare because I wanted to make an impact in a person’s health and well-being. Nursing is a career that helps save lives, brings happiness to individuals and their families, and comfort to those in need. Although this field is very challenging, it is also rewarding. I am honored to contribute to such a noble profession.

¿Qué tipos de asistencia prestan y en qué se diferencian?
My care focuses on Health Promotion, Disease Prevention, and Education. Nurse practitioners are set apart from other healthcare providers by their unique emphasis on the health and well-being of the whole person. In my practice, I focus on holistic care, which ensures that every patient will receive the highest quality of care possible.

¿Cuál es su filosofía de atención al paciente?
As a Family Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to make sure that my patients are receiving the best care. By treating patients holistically, I ensure that they are physically, mentally, and spiritually fit. I stay true to my own values when caring for my patients by being kind, compassionate, showing respect, and listening.

¿Qué pueden esperar los pacientes cuando le visitan?
When patients come to their appointment, they can look forward to a provider who listens to their needs and provides guidance to their desired goals.
