About Me

Hello and welcome to my Web page.

Biography

I am Colombian-American. In 1991, my family moved from Colombia to the United States to start a new life. The U.S. gave us the opportunity to follow our dreams, honor our culture, and enrich our lives with the traditions and customs from cultures around the world. During our first years here, we lived in a suburb of New York City. From there, we moved to a small rural community in Indiana. I attended college at Indiana University-Bloomington, where I met and married my college sweetheart. Following this, I attended University of Louisville Medical School of Medicine. Then moved to California for a psychiatry residency at UCLA San Fernando Valley. During my training, I became the mother of three amazing children.
