My love for neurology began in 2017 when I began to work in the Stroke Unit. I then transferred to the Neurology Intensive Care Unit, caring for the most critical patients with neurological conditions. I then obtained my Master’s degree in Adult Gerontology Acute Care from the University of Miami. Nursing has always allowed me to give compassionate care to my patients and family members. I am very passionate about providing support, education, and high-quality healthcare services to my community.
