Summary
Board certified Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner. I obtained my WHNP certification in June 2022 and my FNP certification in January 2026. I have practiced as a WHNP at an ICE facility for the last three years. However, my experience is not limited to women's health. I also provide primary care services to the adult and geriatric female populations at the facility. The services I provide include but are not limited to history and physical exams, chronic care management, diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions, women's health exams, prenatal care, lab interpretation, consulting other specialties, etc. Though I have no professional experience with the pediatric population, I do have over 180 hours of clinical experience during my school rotations, so I feel comfortable and confident providing care to pediatric patients.
