About
I am a physician assistant who decided to go to medical school. I have always been committed to treating the underserved and spent the majority of my life as a PA in federally qualified community health centers. I speak Spanish fluently, which removes a common barrier to care, needing an interpreter. I am credentialed in HIV medicine, and I have taught HIV and STDs at Seton Hall Physician Assistant program for many years. I am also a grandmother to Lillianclare and Adaline, and I'm eagerly waiting for baby girl number three to join us. I want them all to know it is never too late to follow your dreams.
