SPECIALISTS

I was born and raised in Valencia, Venezuela. Since childhood I have been interested in the health care field, as my dad is a pediatrician and mom a social worker. When I was a teenager, our church began sending missionaries to the Amazon jungle regions of Venezuela. These areas are very remote, far from developed cities, with no real access to healthcare. My father, being a physician, was asked to join the missionary group and aid these isolated populations. I was asked to help on one of these trips as a member of the dental team. I thoroughly enjoyed my time, felt energized by my role within the team, and was amazed by the impact we made on these communities in just one short week. It was during this trip that I realized Dentistry was the field for me, and so my adventure began.

 

I graduated from the University of Carabobo Dental School in 2013. After completing my dental training, like all new graduates, I wanted to get out and put into practice all the new skills I had to offer; however, in my case, my country was in decline. Despite being fresh out of school, I emigrated to Panama City, Panama to seek out better opportunities, where I lived and practiced for 5 years.

 

I moved to the United States in 2018 to start a family and continue my education. My husband and I lived in Shamrock, TX for three years prior to my matriculation into the advanced standing class at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, where I graduated with honors in 2024. I’m very happy to be back in the Texas Panhandle and look forward to providing comprehensive and compassionate care to the children of Amarillo and its surrounding communities.
