Gabriel Leighton, LPN-IIGabriel has worked diligently with the BEIM team since 2009. He earned his nursing license at Sarasota County Technical Institute. Prior to this, he earned a B.S. Communications/Broadcasting at the University of Miami. In hindsight, he has realized that the skills he needed in journalism have applied perfectly to nursing: investigating the true source of health problems and thinking critically about the well-being of each patient. His constant pursuit of knowledge, love for serving others, and professionalism make him an asset to this practice. In his free time, he is pursuing his RN licensure through Excelsior College, spending time with his wife, or pursuing interests like singing, jazz and lounge music, food & wine, the beach, or sports.
