Advanced Practice Providers
Nurse Practitioners (APRNs) and Physician Assistants (PAs) are an important part of the Baptist Health team and help us increase timely access to care.
You'll see these advanced practice providers caring for patients in a variety of medical specialties at doctor's offices, hospitals, outpatient centers and emergency rooms.

About Me
I was born and raised in Miami, FL. I am a first generation college graduate in my family. I moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2013 to pursue my passion for nursing. I've been a nurse for 10 years and worked in neurology for 9 years. I married the love of my life, my beautiful wife and we have a loving 8 year old daughter. In my personal time I love to read, spend time with my family, and travel.
What I enjoy about being an APP is connecting with my patient s at a higher level and being bale to advocate for them. Health and wellness is vital to every day living and I plan to educate my patients to live healthy lives.
During my time at Baptist I have volunteered at TPC, doing health assessements in the community, and being apart of PRIDE, Women, young professional, bold ERGs. I love being out in the community and try often to be available to do so if I can because it's so important to give back to the community.
