Summary

Registered Nurse - Bilingual Emergency Medical Professional with a background in high-pressure clinical environments across Venezuela, Chile, and the US. I bring more than technical skill; I bring the lived experience and cultural nuance necessary to provide authentic advocacy for Latino communities. By bridging the gap between clinical urgency and empathetic, language-concordant care, I ensure that patients are not just treated, but truly understood.
