I started my nursing career in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit, where I spent several years caring for critically ill patients and their families. That experience shapes how I practice today: carefully and thoroughly, with the patient’s family as part of the team.
At Paloma Medical Group, I care for patients in skilled nursing facilities across South Orange County as part of the primary care and pulmonary teams. Many are recovering from a hospital stay or managing several chronic conditions, and I help them and their families prepare for the next steps, including the return home. I also see pulmonary patients at our office, where I manage lung and sleep conditions.
I practice with compassion and empathy, because illness affects much more than the body. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure patients and their families feel supported. My goal is for every patient to know they have someone in their corner who is invested in their health and their goals.”
