About Me
I am the Medical Director of the AHF Healthcare Centers: Coconut Grove. In 1980, my best friend became ill with what we later learned to be HIV. At that time, I was a biologist working for the Smithsonian Institute studying iguanas and frogs in the tropics. Because of her diagnosis, I went to medical school and have dedicated my life to caring for people living with HIV.
Fun fact: When I lived in Panama, I swam in the Pacific, hopped on a bike, rode across Panama, and swam in the Atlantic all in one day!
