SUMMARY

Working as a health care provider for over eighteen years, in both hospital

and long-term care settings, has enabled me to develop strong medical

abilities, in addition to effective and compassionate interpersonal skills.

I am a hard-working, dependable, people-oriented professional. I have 11

years of experience as a Physician's Assistant with special focus in family

practice, surgery and emergency care. Additionally, I am bilingual

background, a genuine love of medicine, and a deep concern for my patients.
