In 2016, Carol founded JWP with the vision of making high-quality personalized medicine available to more people in the greater San Diego area.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Overall, the road has been smooth. As I am only 4 years out of NP school, the ownership of my own practice has come quickly.

The greatest struggle has been the California requirement of having a supervising physician in order to practice as a Nurse Practitioner in an independent clinic.

We’d love to hear more about your business.

What were you like growing up?
I was an adventurous child, spending nearly a year of my life with my family in the Philippines as a 5 year old. Since being homeschooled in elementary school, I was very creative, spending as much time as possible in the outdoors of Pennsylvania. As the oldest child of 6 siblings, I was often creating entrepreneurial projects, from strawberry stands to lemonade and cookie stands, to knitting sets of hats, scarves, gloves and booties that I would sell as Christmas presents for my friends American Girls’ dolls.

My siblings and I were very active, with weekly family hikes, and we all played soccer, and I also played tennis in high school. Because my parents grew up as missionary kids in Asia, I was interested in foreign language and culture, eating rice and curry for dinner, and I learned a little Japanese as a child and Spanish in high school. My friends and I loved traveling to NYC for the weekend, and the NJ shore all summer long. I never dreamed I would be living in Southern California, a mile from the beach, owning my own business, when I grew up.
