While working with Community Health for the past ten and a half years, I have learned to enjoy the growth that all healthcare professionals frustrated with passion feel when cannot change the status quo. I have a fascination for creating small working systems that can be beneficial to more than one in our networks. I like to think about problems as opportunities to learn and become a better version of myself.
I like to eat healthy-ish and practice regular exercise to support my body, but I am also a big fan of coffee and sweets.
I have two teenagers that cannot stop making me feel blessed. I share most of my free time supporting their inner critical thinking abilities, and I encourage them to be educated by reading about all subjects from Music to Science. I enjoy reading to stay educated. My favorite thing to do with my spare time is gardening. Succulent collector.
Whenever possible, I like to attend live performances. I love all kinds from symphonic music to Opera. Among some of those, I enjoyed in the past are Rigoletto, Romeo and Juliet, Electra, Hansel and Gretel, The Magic Flute, and many more I cannot even remember.
I have a degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, which I acquired long before working in Community Health, I worked for a few private dental practices before working for SNAHC. My current work environment had helped me to discover my strengths, and foster support to develop new skills. I believe that if we all put effort into learning something new about the ‘problems,’ we can alleviate many of them.
Hopefully, the future of community health would be a place that can bring together good quality care, happy professionals, and healthier people. This pandemic has hurt us enough that we can only wait for good things to come.
