I live by the values of family, community, love, solidarity.
These values show up in my work when I bring a critical lens to the status quo, and when I show up authentically in my work and stand in my truth to fight for visibility and the centering of the voices and interests of those historically excluded from privileged spaces like medical institutions.
I build beautiful and meaningful connections between communities, elevating health, wellbeing and joy in the lives of patients I care for and people I’m in community with.
I work to transform our spaces + communities through these offerings:
