Personal Background & Interests
When she’s not busy with patients, she can be found catching up on her favourite anime such as Dandadan, AoT, Bleach or simply just enjoying the beach. She’s from the beautiful island of Jamaica but loves to learn and enjoy other cultures and most importantly, try their dishes. Her favourite thing is an avocado so at some point you will see here wearing fun avocado socks or head band.
