Nurturing patients and families, and helping them focus on illness prevention and promoting good health are big reasons my nursing career choice was the right one for me. I love caring for my patients and care for them as if they’re family members. One of the reasons I like working at Sanitas is that my patients receive 100% commitment from beginning to end, from the front office to all the care team members. For me, a good day at work means making a difference in my patients' lives through compassion, support and love, and seeing positive changes in their health.
My family came from Italy originally, and lived in Venezuela for 12 years before moving to the U.S. I was born in New Jersey and am the first American-born member of my family. I received my Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) education at South University and hold additional degrees and certifications from University of Phoenix and Valencia College.
When I take off my coat, I love, above all, to spend time with my husband and three children. We laugh a lot, enjoy mealtimes and eating together, and have a great time in each other's company.
