I have worked in oral surgery since 2004 and my favorite thing about my job is the people. Every day I interact with all kinds of different personalities. I love the challenge of easing someone's worries or providing input to teammates to help them navigate challenges.

If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I would love to go back to Costa Rica and spend more time closer to the coast, maybe at Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. I've explored La Fortuna and I fell in love with all the greenery, cute little monkeys and lemurs that wandered around and of course the food.

Either a forensic scientist or a forensic psychologist.

Intuitive.

If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I have been to a lot of countries but I have yet to visit New Zealand and Australia. Those are two beautiful countries that I'd like to scratch off my world map 😉 !

If you could spend a week anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I would choose either Brazil or England. Brazil for their food, people, beaches, their soccer culture and the culture in general. Then England strictly for the soccer culture.

Something within law enforcement. I have always wanted to be a criminologist. Studying crime patterns and determining why and how the crime was committed. On the other hand, I have always wanted to be a child therapist working mainly with middle school kids.

Personable.
