About Me

I grew up in a Spanish-speaking household. As a child, I would go to doctors’ visits with my parents, and it’d be me having to interpret for them. Spanish-speaking patients feel more comfortable with a Spanish-speaking provider -- someone who they can directly communicate with and express their concerns more clearly.
