"I have had the pleasure or working with Sonia in the Emergency Department. Sonia is professional, efficient, goal oriented, and fantastic with her patients. Her clinical and interpersonal

skills are well developed, which makes her stand out amongst her colleagues as a proficient, even expert, nurse practitioner. Sonia is an asset to the nursing community and it has been an honor working with her."

— Dominic Lindeque, Certified Nurse Practitioner, Qualified Emergency Specialists, Inc, worked directly with Sonia at QUALIFIED EMERGENCY SERVICES INC

"I was initially impressed with Sonia's enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I first met her at PocketScript. During her tenure at PocketScript (a new technology start-up), she consistently demonstrated all of these qualities and more.

Sonia was able to make things happen in an environment (Physician sales) where it is very difficult to get traction. Her knowledge of the medical field was impressive as well as diverse. She loves to learn, so I can only imagine her wealth of knowledge (now) many years after PocketScript.

Sonia brings the 360 degree attitude to everything she does. She sees the challenge from all sides and solves the problem, what a rare skill today! Sonia has my highest recommendation."
