Personal Statement

I believe healthy habits in childhood build the foundation for lifelong well-being. My approach emphasizes prevention and empowers families to foster both physical and emotional health. To me, effective care entails listening with empathy, understanding each family’s priorities, and working together to help every child reach their full potential.

With roots in Argentina, Canada, and the U.S., I bring a diverse background that helps me connect meaningfully with families across cultures. I enjoy hiking, traveling, practicing yoga, and running outside with my husband, daughter, and dog—experiences that nurture balance in my life and compassion in my work.
