After years in collegiate athletics, Carolina chose to transition into a role that offered better work life balance and the opportunity to be present for her daughter’s important developmental stages. She returned to the area to spend more quality time with family and friends; swimming, playing, and exploring the outdoors with her daughter; grill, and play pickleball with friends. Carolina is excited to reconnect with the community that once opened doors for her and looks forward to giving back through compassionate, high-quality care.
