I am a freelance writer specializing in health, wellness, culture and history. As a registered nurse, my experience comprises cardiac intermediate care and surgical step down, neonatal intensive care, workers' compensation and catastrophic injury case management, coordinating or attending independent/defense medical examinations and legal nurse consulting. I am also training as a forensic/sexual assault nurse examiner.  

Since being voted as “Best Writer” in my fifth-grade class, I have written poetry and essays in English and Spanish. Clips from print journalism, college newspapers, cultural events and oral history projects fill my pre-digital era portfolio. I have previously landed my dream job at a global public relations firm prior to becoming a registered nurse. Merging health care and writing opens the doors to endless opportunities.

My education includes bachelor's degrees in nursing and communication. I am a certified case manager and maintain basic life support. I am a member of the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants, International Association of Forensic Nurses, Academy of Forensic Nurses, Association of Junior Leagues International, Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and Filipino American National Historical Society.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, visiting beaches, standup paddleboarding, dance, yoga, Pilates, improving my Spanish, researching superfoods and spoiling my chihuahua.
