I’m an OB/GYN hospitalist at Memorial Healthcare System, where I care for women admitted to the hospital for obstetric and gynecologic needs. Much of my work involves managing high-risk pregnancy conditions such as hypertension disorders, gestational and pregestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, preterm premature rupture of membranes and patients with a history of uterine surgery.

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, where I also attended medical school. It was during my clinical rotations in public hospitals, many of which had scarce resources, that I felt especially drawn to helping mothers and their babies. That’s where I discovered how broad and meaningful OB/GYN could be. It’s one of the few specialties where we practice medicine and surgery, support patients through life-changing milestones and advocate for women in a system where their care is often overlooked.

After completing my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Jersey City Medical Center in New Jersey, I moved to California, where I spent more than five years caring for a large, underserved population. In 2022, my family relocated to South Florida to be closer to loved ones, and I transitioned to hospital-based care for women experiencing labor, delivery and obstetric or gynecologic emergencies.

In the hospital, I approach each patient with a mix of urgency and care. I know these situations can be overwhelming, so I focus on making the experience more manageable by laying out what’s going on clearly, walking through the options and answering all questions. My goal is to make sure every patient understands what’s happening and feels steady and supported.
