I am from Texas but have lived in Colorado since 1996. I love the mountains and everything Denver has to offer. I feel so lucky to live here. I am married and the mom to two amazing young men. We like to ski, hike and visit National Parks together. We also like to play cards, like Canasta, and board games.
Most of my family lives in Europe because my father is Spanish and my mother is German. I am able to speak Spanish fluently, which allows me to communicate easily with my Spanish speaking patients.
I love my chosen specialty of anesthesia because the physiology and pharmacology is very interesting. Most of all, I like the undivided attention I can give my patients with the one on one care I provide at a critical point in their health.
