I wanted to become a physician assistant because I wanted to help patients’ live healthier lives. The interaction with patients is something I thoroughly enjoy. One of my greatest joys is working as part of a team in both the clinical and surgical setting.
After graduate school I moved to Chicago and went to work
in the Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department at Rush University Medical Center. Later I joined dermatology practice in Chicago where I was trained and developed a fondness for facial aesthetic procedures.
I am happy to be back in sunny Florida, and delighted to work in a practice
where my education, training and occupational interests have such a great fit.

What I enjoy the most about otolaryngology, and especially our practice, is the variety of patients and variety of ear,
nose and throat conditions we see and treat. Our practice
is
on the cutting edge reguarding treatments of diseases of the head and neck.
I especially enjoy being a part of a multidisciplinary team particularly related to inpatient rehabilitation and cleft palate/craniofacial team.

My first occupation in healthcare was working the front desk part time during college. I really enjoyed meeting a variety
of people and the fast paced setting. After college I left healthcare to pursue other opportunities, but years later
I returned to my roots in healthcare coming to work for
Dr. Espinola. This position has given me the opportunity
to grow both professionally and personally. As the Practice Administrator it is my responsibility to ensure your
experience with us is as pleasant as possible.
