I have been a pediatric nurse practitioner since 2001. Currently I am the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Course Track Coordinator at UT Health San Antonio School of Nursing. I practice in a school based clinic caring for adolescents and their children from the school day care. I am interested in improving the health and future health outcomes of under-served children by improving access to healthcare and addressing social and behavioral determinants of health which impact their current and future health. |
