Shortly after I moved to the lovely city of Tampa where I have provided medical care to our veterans, retirees, immigrants and the families of the Hillsborough-Pasco counties. I decided to start a healthcare career because from a young age I understood that my vocation was to help those in need, specifically the poor and the sick. A good day at work means that our primary care team was able to deliver great care to those in suffering from acute illnesses and when I able to educate our patients on the ways they can change their lifestyles in order to improve their overall health. I have a team minded work ethic, centered the application of efficient practices in the delivery of quality care. When I take off my coat, I enjoy spending time with my family, joining in outdoor activities, exercising, and studying history.
