Beatriz is a highly experienced Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with over 25 years of dedicated service in pediatric primary care. She began her nursing journey with an Associate of Science in Nursing from Atlantic Union College, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Columbia University. Her commitment to pediatric care led her to earn a Master of Science in Nursing from Columbia University, specializing in the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program.

Certified as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in Primary Care, Beatriz has a rich background in nursing, having worked as a Registered Nurse in both the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Emergency Room settings before becoming a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. This diverse experience has equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of pediatric healthcare needs.
