With 9 years' experience with bleeding disorders, I am energized by empowering families each, and every day. I love being able to educate the entire family unit in English and Spanish, knowing they do not have to be defined by their bleeding disorder.
I focus on providing knowledge and equipping them with the right tools necessary to live a healthy and joyful life. My mission is to lead and inspire by example and always show empathy, compassion, kindness, and love.
