I am a registered nurse with 15 years in healthcare. I am passionate about lifestyle medicine. I am working towards my nurse practitioner certification so I can serve my community in the primary care role.

I am a Registered Nurse at a busy Emergency Department in the greater Los Angeles area. At every single shift, I see dozens of patients with conditions that are preventable through diet and lifestyle. My aim is to help people move towards a healthier lifestyle and to teach them how to stay out of the ER! I provide introductory educational lectures to groups on how to incorporate more plants into one’s diet and I provide hands-on tips and tricks to help improve one’s overall dietary and lifestyle pattern. I specialize in addressing cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, hypertension and other chronic diseases through whole foods plant-based nutrition.

Master’s prepared Registered Nurse aspiring to become a Cardiologist focusing on whole-food, plant-based and lifestyle medicine.

Dedicated in my service to Mankind, my entire 31-year nursing career has been specialized in Pediatrics, and I have worked in the PICU since 2000 with much float experience in the NICU. After having done extensive personal research since 1994 to find the best wholistic approaches to patient care and education of both my patients and their families, it wasn’t until late 2020 after diving head first into – and experiencing for myself – the whole-food plant-based lifestyle that I felt confident that I had found a truly viable and evidence-based approach: Back to the Basics.
