Why did you become a healthcare provider?

Throughout my education, I discovered that nursing resonated with me the most, prompting me to further my professional journey by obtaining my nurse practitioner license.

What attracted you to a community health center for your practice? 

Community health centers offer a wide range of primary care and preventive services to a diverse patient base. As a practitioner, I value the chance to address not just physical health but also mental and social well-being. This holistic approach enables us to create a significant and positive impact on the lives of our patients.

What do you enjoy or find most fulfilling about caring for patients?
