Biography: I am an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Originally from Venezuela, I completed my medical degree at the University of Carabobo before pursuing residency training in Anesthesiology at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital and a fellowship in Critical Care Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. I am board certified in Anesthesiology and currently pursuing critical care medicine board certification as well as advanced training through the Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the University of Arizona.
My academic and clinical interests focus on perioperative and critical care, complex case management, and the integration of whole-person health principles into perioperative and critical care practice. I serve as the Critical Care Rotation Director for the Anesthesiology Residency program and participate in several institutional committees dedicated to quality improvement, opioid stewardship, and transfusion safety. I am actively involved in research projects and, with various peer-reviewed publications, national presentations, and multiple ongoing multicenter clinical studies.
I am passionate about mentoring trainees and advancing diversity and equity in academic medicine. I remain committed to improving care delivery for high risk underserved populations and advocating for the incorporation of evidence-based integrative approaches and therapies in the perioperative and critical care setting.
My Approach to Healthcare
As a critical care anesthesiologist, my approach to healthcare is patient-centered, multidisciplinary, and rooted in whole-person care. I integrate evidence-based anesthesiology and critical care with growing expertise in integrative medicine to address acute physiological derangements and long-term well-being. My work emphasizes compassionate, culturally competent care for high-risk and critically ill populations, collaborative decision-making, and continuous quality improvement. Through leadership in education, research, and hospital committees, I strive to improve outcomes, promote safety, and enhance the patient experience across the perioperative and intensive care continuum.
