About me
I am originally from Cali, Colombia, and grew up in my home country until I was 9 years old. I then moved with my family to Dallas, Texas, where I spent most of my life until I moved to Georgia for my undergraduate degree in radiologic sciences and then pursued a master's degree in physician assistant studies in Atlanta.
I chose to practice in cardiology because of my experience as a nuclear medicine technologist doing stress tests for the department, thus giving me an insight into the field early in my career. I also have a personal interest in cardiovascular disease.
In my free time, my family and I like to go camping, fishing, hiking, and kayaking because we feel the best mentally when we are close to nature. One of our family goals is to fill out our National Parks passport and get a camper van to embark on our adventures.
About my practice
I am a physician assistant in the Kaiser Permanente Cardiology Department. Our group is comprised of doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, and techs who work together to provide optimal care and a comfortable experience for our members who may need the services of a specialist for heart treatment and evaluation. Our team collaborates and communicates to ensure we deliver optimum care during each visit.
How I thrive
Mentally I like to take care of myself by going to the gym, tending to my small herb garden, taking trips with my family to state or national parks, hiking, going out to catch up with my friends, or spending a vacation exploring a new city either in the U.S. or abroad. I also enjoy attending local city events throughout Atlanta and supporting small businesses.
I truly feel fulfilled when spending quality time with my friends and family.
