I am a board-certified Internal Medicine physician in the greater Seattle area working primarily with the geriatric population and serving the Hispanic community in South King County. I'm passionate about serving uninsured/underinsured, low-income and/or immigrant communities and committed to improving the life of my patients through compassionate, patient-centered care, and in a collaborative patient-doctor relationship.

My professional focus includes diverse areas such as preventative medicine, complex care management, clinical education, global health, and health policy. I also enjoy mentoring students at all levels, particularly empowering young, Hispanic females to become strong, passionate and compassionate professionals in the medical field.
