County that provide
valuable community
services in the areas
of health, education,
social services, and
the arts. I have held

the Las Patronas
Endowment Fund.
11 a . m . On the Job 7 p . m . Night Time
I am currently running a clinical trial testing
a new drug and exercise program that has
been developed to increase muscle mass
in elderly patients due to a condition called
sarcopenia where there is advanced muscle
wasting, resulting in difficulty walking and
reduced independence and quality of life.
The work is very gratifying as I can see major
improvements in the quality of life of many of
my patients. Sometimes I even get to sneak a
workout in when I train my patients. My priorities always rely around my children. Balance is not
always easy, but it is necessary for a happy, healthy, and
fulfilling life. When it is time to put my children to bed, we
always read a book before bed to wind down from the day.
Throughout the day I also make a little time for myself to
connect with friends.
4 p . m . Charity
I have my kids involved in tennis, singing and
piano lessons, the day can get very busy. I
am also involved in Las Patronas of La Jolla
which has monthly meetings. Las Patronas is
committed to providing financial assistance
to nonprofit organizations in San Diego
