Today, I channel that expertise into patient-centered care, specializing in Neurological Rehabilitation, Memory Care, and Crisis Prevention (CPI). A lifelong learner, I hold Executive Diplomas in International Healthcare Administration, Human Resource Management, and Cyber Security. My commitment to service has been recognized with the U.S. President’s Volunteer Service Award, reflecting my dedication to the Arlington and Dallas communities.
