My name is Leanna Rosario, and I’m the Customer Care Manager at Brightstar. Over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to continuous learning and personal growth because I believe that knowledge is power and the key to becoming the best version of myself. I pride myself on clear communication, efficient delivery, and results-driven work. My career has given me the opportunity to build an office from the ground up and successfully manage three medical practices simultaneously. With over 10 years of experience in the medical field and a background as an insurance agent specializing in a wide range of products, I bring a unique blend of administrative expertise and compassion to everything I do. Helping people is my passion. Whether it’s supporting patients, guiding a team, or improving operations, I’m motivated by the positive impact my work can have. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom of three amazing kids. I love making memories with them, they are my biggest motivation and the reason I strive for excellence every day.

My name is Keishla Pérez, and I’m the Director of Nursing at BrightStar Care of SW & NE Orlando. I’ve been a registered nurse for over eight years, with experience in ER, Med-Surg, and Pediatrics, caring for patients across all ages and backgrounds. I hold an Associate, Bachelor, and Master’s degree in Nursing, and I’m currently pursuing my Doctorate in Nursing Practice (DNP),  continuing to grow as both a clinician and leader.
Before joining BrightStar, I served as a Director of Nursing in Texas, overseeing home health programs for pediatric and adult populations. I also worked as a Director of Clinical Support for a psychiatric company providing mental health services to both children and adults, where I developed a strong passion for holistic, patient-centered care and supporting healthcare teams in delivering excellence.
Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mom to a sweet 3-year-old. We love spending family time at Disney or traveling together to explore new places. I’m also a fur mom to a Dalmatian and an Australian Shepherd mix, who always keep life fun and full of energy!
Fun fact: I’m both an ITP and cancer survivor,  experiences that have made me stronger, more compassionate, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to care for others every day.
