Narrative Biography
About Me
Born and raised in Ecuador, I immigrated to the U.S. with my family when I was 17. I did my undergraduate studies in neuroscience at Bates College, and later received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from the MGH Institute of Health Professions. I have a Doctorate of Nursing Practice from Rush University, where I also studied transformative systems leadership. In addition to these degrees, I earned a Master of Public Health from Brown University. I’m a certified nurse practitioner and licensed advanced practice nurse.
My husband (also a health care provider) and I are deeply grateful for the opportunity to work and raise our young family on Maui. We’re committed to this community for the long term and always striving to ensure our patients receive consistent and reliable care.

About My Practice
At a young age, I became interested in medicine. Growing up in a developing country, I wanted to focus on global health and underserved populations. I’ve written several articles on these topics for clinical publications.
There’s so much at stake in critical care, requiring close cooperation among team members and attention to detail. It’s humbling to be entrusted with caring for and supporting patients and their families during some of the challenging periods of their lives.
How I Thrive
I enjoy running, swimming, reading, cooking, and spending time with my family exploring the beautiful Hawaiian Islands,
