About Me
Having made the courageous decision to move from Puerto Rico, I embarked on a new chapter of my life filled with exciting opportunities and personal growth. While most of my family is back home, I find myself spending time here in Florida with incredible friends I have made and my twin sister who lives near me. One of our favorite activities is cooking together, where we bond over delicious meals and pass down cherished family recipes. We also enjoy traveling together. As we embark on our journeys, we love trying new foods, which has become one of our favorite aspects of traveling.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my medical profession is engaging in meaningful conversations with my patients. I genuinely enjoy getting to know them and building a foundation of trust and encouragement. Through open and compassionate dialogue, I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment where patients feel heard and understood. By actively listening to their concerns, fears, and aspirations, I can tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. Having lived in different parts of the world with diverse cultural backgrounds, I have developed a perspective that aids in understanding my patients. This awareness allows me to provide care that is not only medically sound but also culturally sensitive and respectful. Ultimately, this enables me to deliver personalized care that meets their specific needs and empowers them to actively participate in their healthcare journey.
