Advanced practice nursing was a natural fit for me, as I've always loved science and helping people. In addition, an early mentor, a doctor I worked with, inspired me to pursue a career in healthcare. Being bilingual - I'm fluent in Spanish - helps me communicate with a broad cross-section of the population. Since 2001, I've worked in outpatient settings with diverse populations. I care deeply about my patients and feel that listening to - and understanding - their concerns is crucial to providing them with the best care. I am a board-certified women's health NP with a special interest in high-risk pregnancy, obstetrics and preventive gynecology. I was born in Cuba and came to the U.S. as a child. I grew up in a Boston suburb and attended nursing school - and later NP school at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston before finally escaping New England winters by moving to South Carolina in 2017. I'm a proud board member of the South Carolina Nurse Retention Initiative, and a member of The Aassociation of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses. I've been inducted into Sigma Theta Tau, the international honor society for nursing, and Iota Eta Pi Nursing Honor Society. I was honored to be a speaker/presenter for a national conference in Las Vegas in 2010. Presenting "Increasing Diversity in Nursing" to a national audience was entirely my pleasure. When not serving my patients, I enjoy spending time with my husband, adult children and precious grandkids. My hobbies include biking, pickleball and traveling with family.
