USF Digestive Diseases & Nutrition

I am a bilingual doctorally prepared, board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and a graduate of the University of South Florida. I bring seven years of critical care experience at Tampa General Hospital, including six years in neuroscience caring for complex neurological and trauma patients, particularly within the Spanish-speaking community. I also have outpatient neurology experience across the lifespan and am passionate about delivering compassionate, evidence-based care and educating patients to improve their quality of life.

I’m a board-certified nurse practitioner specializing in internal medicine and pediatrics. I provide evidence-based, compassionate care to patients of all ages, with a focus on prevention, wellness, and long-term health. My background includes critical care and wound care nursing, and I’m passionate about building strong relationships with patients and their families. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring local coffee shops and biking with my English Shepherd.

Having grown up in Tampa, I am deeply committed to serving our community with expertise and compassion. Inspired by my faith and family, I approach each patient interaction with care. We are privileged to care for our patients; thus my interactions should reflect this honor. Our learners will emulate the care we teach, so our methods will be amplified.
