With 15+ years of experience in the medical field, Edwin loves having the opportunity to help others each day through his work. His mother always wanted to be a nurse herself, and she passed this strong desire onto her son so that he could one day make a positive impact in people’s lives!

 

Mental health is particularly important and can be untreated for multiple reasons, such as lack of access, societal stigma, and lack of providers who speak multiple languages.

 

Because of his personal experience with friends and family members who have struggled mentally, he decided to specialize in this unique field and hasn’t looked back since.Edwin is a first-generation immigrant from Honduras. He studied at La Salle University, achieving his graduate degree in advancing nursing and specializing in mental health.

 

He has worked with mental health patients throughout the vast majority of his career, including inpatient units, long-term care facilities, and outpatient care.

 

Today, he is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, a member of the Neuroscience Education Institute, and a member of the National Institute of Mental Health.Outside of working hours, Edwin spends lots of time with his loving family. Some of his biggest hobbies include smoking meats, barbequing, and cheering on his favorite sports teams.
