I have worked with infants/children for years prior to attending medical school. I find great joy in working with the younger set of patients. Greenville is a nice size city with the feel of a small unique city. Prisma Health is growing, and the department of psychiatry is flourishing. Child psychiatry is also growing and there are exciting changes happening. Working here has been awesome for me!

I love child psychiatry because it offers the opportunity to help families and especially children through (and at times overcome) their mental illness at what is often at the most crucial stages of their lives.  There is so much to learn about the art of making such positive changes in another’s life and it is an amazing thing to share and enjoy with learners.  Greenville is an excellent place to live with its unique cultural diversity, friendly people and small town feel but mid-sized city amenities.  The pleasant climate, mild winters and location with mountains and beach in an easy drive is a big advantage as well.

Have taught my entire career, first as an anatomist and then as a psychiatrist.  Teaching is my passion and working with children and families is a joy.  Every child and youth has a story to tell and these stories help us understand their joys, sorrows, strengths and needs.  Along with their family, we have the privilege of helping them with their needs and watching them change and grow.

I love the way teaching keeps me on road of continuous self-improvement, which I hope to cultivate in those who train with me. Child psychiatry is a fascinating and ever-changing field that offers the ability to improve not only the child’s mental well-being, but that of the entire family for generations to come. Furthermore, Greenville is a fun and diverse city with a significant Hispanic population, and as a Cuban-American myself, I enjoy being able to speak Spanish with a portion of the patients I serve.
