What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values holistic patient care and community health initiatives.

I am a dedicated Physician Assistant with a Master of Public Health from Tufts University School of Medicine. My experience includes managing a diverse caseload of medically and psychosocially complex patients in a high-volume primary care setting. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, allowing me to build strong relationships with patients from various cultural backgrounds.

Throughout my career, I have focused on addressing chronic illnesses, mental health issues, and social determinants of health. I have a strong commitment to trauma-informed care, integrating somatic tools to support recovery. My background in clinical research and community health has equipped me with the skills to coordinate care effectively and advocate for my patients' needs.
