Biography

I began my path in the medical field immediately after high school at 18 years of age. Initially I had only planned to work as a Medical Assistant by trade while continuing my education towards my Criminal Justice degree. I then saw the desperate need in the city of San Bernardino and was fortunate enough to serve as a healthcare educator and as an outreach worker, promoting awareness about HIV/AIDS and providing case management. While educating the neighborhood in which I lived in at the time, about access to available healthcare. I also worked as a Site Lead, overseeing tasks and ensuring that our work reflects agency policies and identifying and implementing the best practices to better serve the patient as a whole. With my passion to serve and my experience in the medical field, I have become eager to assist individuals in navigating the healthcare system and pointing them towards the right direction the first time.
