As a nurse practitioner at Sanitas, I give the best possible and compassionate care to my patients. My focus is addressing their concerns––which I can do in either English or Filipino. It’s a good day when I can make someone's day a little better than the day before. I was born in Cebu, Philippines, and moved to South Florida when I was 8. I grew up in the Hialeah/Miami Lakes area and have lived in Broward County for the past 10 years. I wanted to pursue medicine as my career in order to follow in my family's footsteps—all healthcare professionals, most of them nurses. I am one of the first in my family to be an advanced practice registered nurse. When I take off my coat, I like to play video games with my son. I enjoy exercising and taking walks with my wife in our neighborhood. I’m a Miami Dolphins and Miami Heat fan––even before the Big 3!
