I attended the English class for foreigners in New York University. Then I went to Community College in New York in Staten Island and received a BS in science degree. I attended Brooklyn Jewish Hospital School of Nursing and became a registered professional nurse. I have worked in New York as an RN, and then at Corral Gables Hospital in Florida. I was an RN escort for the immigration department in New York for one trip to Bamaqou, Mali. I can speak Creole, French, Spanish, and English. Haunted by the desire to be a physician, I attended the Universidad Del Noreste in Tampico Mexico and then transferred to Spartan Health Science University in Texas. I passed the ECFMG in my third year of medical school. I applied for a residency but I was not successful in the first year. I continued to work as a nurse supervisor collecting data from one long-term care facility to another long-term care facility. I attended Cuyahoga Community College to become a primary instructor preparing STNA for the job market at this time.
