Helping patients feel comfortable, confident, and leave with a smile is what inspires me every day. Whatever I can do to make a patient smile, I'm all in!

Originally from Miami, Florida, I made Jacksonville my home nine years ago. I am blessed with a loving husband, two beautiful daughters, and a wonderful stepson who keep life full of love, laughter, and adventure.

When I'm not at work, you'll usually find me spending quality time with my family and making memories we'll cherish for years to come. I enjoy cooking and creating different dishes. A fun fact about me: I was part of a professional pool league and absolutely love shooting pool.
