I was born in White Plains, New York, but have been a Houstonian since 1976. I am of Cuban descent and speak Spanish fluently. Since childhood, I have always wanted to be a nurse. I was born with a desire to help people.

A good day at work means that I have made my patients smile and feel satisfied with their care.

My goal is to help my patients feel they are heard and understood and have their needs met.

When I take off my coat, I love traveling with my family, reading, crocheting or crafting, being active in my church, and hanging out at the pool or beach.
