Jeimy Duenas

Front Office Manager

I was born in Guatemala City and moved to the United States when I was 7 years old. I have a wonderful husband and a terrific son!  I went to school for business management, however I decided that was not for me. I then went into the hospitality industry for 20+ years and learned so much. My sister has always wanted me to get into the medical field and after I was diagnosed with breast cancer I decided to follow in her footsteps. I love being creative and spending time with my family!
