I was born in San Jose, California and am the oldest of three siblings. My family moved to Coeur D’Alene, Idaho when I was just two years old and later to Houston, Texas where I have called home ever since. I grew up in a family of medical first responders and military personnel so serving others is something that runs close to home. I decided to go into medicine because my mom is a nurse and seeing how she had a positive impact on others every day made me want to pursue this career. It’s a privilege to be able to serve others and an opportunity that I never take for granted. A good day at work means that I have done my best in providing quality care to meet my patient’s individual needs and they have left the medical center satisfied. I want you to know that at Sanitas we take care of you as if you are family. We take pride in the high quality and continuity of health care we provide our patients. When I take off my coat, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids. We enjoy being active, spending time with family and friends, and attending different events. I also enjoy traveling, exercising, and trying different restaurants.
