I completed both medical school and dermatology residencies in my country of origin, Colombia. I practiced there in academic, private and public settings, including the former leprosy township of Agua de Dios. In 2006, I moved to the U.S. to be with my husband and to grow our family. I have since combined my love for dermatology and family becoming a nurse practitioner with an interest in both general and pediatric dermatology. Greensboro is our home, where we are raising our 'pre-teens'.
