I was born in Argentina but have lived in Florida for most of my life. My parents brought my siblings and I here as children in search of a better life and education. During September of 2019, I volunteered on the first cruise ship providing aid to those without access to healthcare in the Bahamas after hurricane Dorian. It was the most rewarding experience of my life. I speak English, Spanish, and can understand Portuguese. My first language is Spanish, but I would spend Summers in Brazil, so I understand Portuguese and learned English once we moved to the United States.
I decided to go into medicine because nurses and doctors helped my premature nephew survive. Ever since then I wanted to help and support families as well.
A good day at work means someone told me they are grateful for supporting them during a difficult time.
I want you to know that at Sanitas I will promise to take the time to listen to all your concerns.
When I take off my coat, I love walking on the beach and fishing with my family.
