Diplomate American Board of Pediatrics I was born in Boston and moved to Houston in 1989 and have been here since. From an early age I loved science and knew I wanted to pursue medicine. While attending HBU I was given the opportunity to travel to Juarez and help the less fortunate kids. Upon returning from my trip, I had realized I was drawn to helping children. I loved their innocence and ability to believe in miracles. In my spare time I love watching movies, painting and spending time with my family. I am a proud mother of one boy and love watching him grow and develop into his dad.
Primary Care
I always knew that I wanted to return to school and become a nurse practitioner. I went back to school, continued my membership in the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society, and obtained a Masters of Science degree. My research for the professional project was focused on childhood obesity in the primary care setting. After graduation, I became certified as a family nurse practitioner by the American Nursing Credentialing Center.
Family Practice
I began my career as a nurse practitioner in family medicine and quickly decided I preferred pediatric medicine. After having three children of my own, I found it rewarding to take care of children and their parents. My philosophy is to treat my patients as if they are my own children.
