Passionate! From community outreach, to our clinic staff, Planned Parenthood’s dedication to staying true to the mission and goal never ceases to amaze me.
What is your greatest accomplishment at PPPSW?
Starting as a Patient Access Specialist for our Mission Bay Health Center I got the privilege to work face to face with new patients, making sure they had all the information they needed, the financial assistance they qualified for, and the care they deserved. Many new patients would come in feeling nervous and didn’t know what to expect and would end up leaving so happy! Knowing that I was a part of that, was truly amazing.

I LOVE going to the gym! I constantly push myself to increase weight and volume when I think I can’t life any heavier. It has made me fall in love with myself and really care for my body and treat my body with patience, respect, and kindness.
