Saleste Pedroza

I grew up in Colton, California, where most of my family still resides. I played travel softball until the age of 18 and also participated in high school volleyball for a couple of years. I began my college education at Riverside City College and hope to return soon with the goal of transferring to California State University, San Bernardino, to pursue a degree in Healthcare Administration.

My core values—respect, authenticity, communication, and generosity—guide the way I live, lead, and connect with others. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and fairness while creating space for diverse perspectives. Living authentically means staying true to my values, even when it’s challenging, and building trust through honesty. I value clear, thoughtful communication not only to express myself but to truly understand others. I also strive to be generous with my time, support, and empathy, believing that small acts of kindness can create meaningful and lasting impact. These values shape who I am and how I hope to contribute to the world around me.

Working closely with the administrator, I specialize in managing day-to-day administrative tasks that keep the office running smoothly. This includes scheduling appointments, coordinating patient records, handling communications, and assisting both patients and clinic staff. My role ensures efficient workflow and helps create a positive experience for patients from their first contact to follow-up care.

One significant challenge many patients face is feeling stressed and uncertain during their visits. I am committed to ensuring that every individual feels supported and at ease from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave. I do this by providing clear, compassionate communication and assisting with scheduling and paperwork. My goal is to create a welcoming and respectful environment where every person feels heard, valued, and comfortable.

What I like most about working here is the opportunity to help others and make a positive difference in their day. I appreciate the supportive and welcoming work environment, which makes it enjoyable to come to work every day. The teamwork and dedication of my colleagues inspire me and make the workplace feel like a community.

When I’m not working, I enjoy baking, my all-time favorite being banana Nutella muffins, and exploring new coffee spots with my partner. On weekends, I like playing co-ed softball as a fun way to take me back to when I used to play! I also love to travel, often visiting Laughlin with my family. Spending quality time with them is especially important to me, and I truly cherish the memories we create together.
