Welcome to My Internet Home Page

I am happy to be a part of the Kaiser Permanente Tracy Health Education Department and hope that the information you find here will help you to live well, be well, and Thrive!

Why did I want to be a Clinical Dietitian?

As a clinical dietitian in Health Education, it is my goal to inspire positive changes in diet and eating behaviors and hopefully help in the prevention and /or delay the progression of chronic diseases.

Why did I choose to practice in Kaiser Permanente?

I have been a member of Kaiser Permanente for 16 years before I started working here. I noted the vast improvements in the quality of care both in the cure and prevention of diseases that we, the members, continue to receive. I am proud that I can be a part of that delivery process.

My Education and Training

I was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of the Philippines and worked in the same University Food Service in Philippines until I came to the United States in 1986. I received my Master’s Degree in Human Nutrition from the University of New Haven in West Haven, CT. I worked for the Veterans Administration Health Care System in Livermore prior to working in Kaiser Permanente Fremont Medical Center in 2002 as an in-patient dietitian. I transferred to Kaiser Permanente Tracy in 2005 when it first opened as an out-patient Registered Dietitian.

My Philosophy of Care

I strive to focus on the individual needs of members, to provide a continuum of care whether they have just been discharged from a hospital or just been diagnosed with a chronic disease. I encourage goals and suggest practical guidelines to promote health and prevent disease.

More About Me

I speak English and Tagalog (Filipino). I have three children, two sons and a daughter and a new grandson. I am active in the Ministry of Caring at our Catholic Church and I am also a member of an organization of Fil-American dietitians. I love to read, travel and watch plays and musicals.

Thank you for visiting my home page. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome and I look forward to seeing you.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
