My journey into healthcare was driven by a passion for healing, both for myself and for others. Prior to joining Mountain Park Health Center, I had experience in both the private and public sectors, but this role is unique in its breadth and impact. The opportunity to help a diverse range of people in this setting aligns perfectly with my lifelong draw toward healing. I was introduced to Mountain Park through my son, who had worked here and spoke highly of the community and its mission. The chance to be a part of such a dedicated team was irresistible.

When patients come to see me, they can expect to be truly heard and understood. I make it a priority to listen to their needs and concerns thoroughly. If I don’t have the answers immediately, I am committed to finding them. My goal is to provide the best care possible, ensuring that each patient feels validated and supported. One crucial lesson I’ve learned in healthcare is the importance of making patients feel heard and understood, which can significantly impact their well-being. I often incorporate breathing exercises into our sessions, which helps patients relax and feel more comfortable.

Outside of work, I indulge in my passion for pottery, which I’ve been practicing for about 20 years. I also love spending time in or near the water, finding peace and joy in these activities. If I wasn’t working in healthcare, I’d probably be a professional traveler or travel agent, as I have a deep love for exploring new places, especially near the ocean. Diversity in the workplace is something I greatly value; I love being surrounded by different cultures and learning from the unique stories and perspectives of people from all over the world. This rich tapestry of experiences enriches my understanding and enhances the care I provide. To maintain my own wellness, I take walks during lunch, often covering three miles along the canal while listening to audiobooks. This routine helps me stay grounded and rejuvenated.
