CLINICAL PSYCHIATRIC TEAM

I am beyond happy to a part of an amazing team like Pacific Neuropsychiatric Specialist. Having served PNSOC as a Patient Care Coordinator, a TMS Technician, and now as an Executive Assistant - I continue to live out my passion for serving the needs of our patients and delivering the best quality care possible.

I have always been interested in helping people and Psychiatry is the way to improve one’s mental health and improve their quality of life. Who wouldn't want to help others attain such goals? During my life’s journey I have always valued those in the industry and appreciated what they do for everyone, including myself. I like and appreciate PNS for its people and purpose. I can honestly say that everyone here has proven to treat all with respect, kindness, and compassion. There is a great teamwork dynamic that feels so rare. I hold this near and dear since folks like this do not come a dime a dozen.
