I was born in Cuba and raised in South Florida, and I came to the U.S. to build a better future. As a U.S. Army Combat Veteran, I learned firsthand the importance of compassionate, timely medical care under pressure. This experience deeply influenced my decision to pursue a healthcare career. From a young age, I’ve always been drawn to helping others and solving problems, which led me to become a nurse practitioner. I now have the privilege of working in urgent care, where I can make an immediate impact on people’s lives, especially during vulnerable times. I find great fulfillment in the fast-paced environment and the connections I build with my patients. At Sanitas, I take a holistic approach to care, treating the whole person—not just their symptoms. I want you to feel heard, supported, and cared for during every visit. Outside of work, I love cooking, especially healthy Latin-inspired dishes. For me, food is a way to connect with others and share something meaningful.
