Stella is very passionate about mental health and the impact it can have not only on a person's well-being and future, but on society as a whole. Her career in healthcare began over a decade ago, with most of her experience in a Trauma 1 hospital in the DFW area.

"I decided to pursue this specialty to decrease the disparities in mental healthcare. Mental healthcare is vital in our society, and individuals should prioritize the stability and well-being of their minds," says Stella.
