Q & A

What brought you from Costa Rica to Greensboro, Ga?

I love caring for others and feel happy by being part of their routine check ups, as well as helping them when they have an acute illness. I also love being able to be part of a research team and getting patients to feel better with new medical advances.

What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not working?

I love to play with my little ones and dining out with my family, love the beach and going on the boat on the Lake. I also enjoy painting, dancing, exercising, and playing piano.
