It was the hard work and the environment she experienced during her work at the Californian fields that motivated her to pursue a career as a physician in her home country.

However, valuing the importance of education and dedication, she put her profession on hold to dedicate herself to homeschooling her three children until they all went to high school. It wasn’t until then that she returned to school and focused on her education, graduating as a Physician Assistant a couple of years later.

Throughout these years she has become a role model inspiring many young and adult females to pursue a higher standard in all aspects of their lives.
