Being in love with medicine her whole life, Ecler began at only age 17 her medical school at The Lutheran University of Brazil. Fascinated with the comprehensive care of all ages and the continuity care of the individual and family, she naturally embraced and pursued her focus in Family Medicine. While studying for her USLME steps, she worked as a Clinical Documentation Specialist at a hospital in Northern California, where she learned medical coding and how to properly evaluate clinical documents. After completing a Family Medicine Residency at Loma Linda University Health (LLUH) and being chief resident during her last year of training, she decided to specialize in Geriatric Medicine at UCLA. Soon after completing her fellowship in LA, she returned to Loma Linda to pursue her passion for teaching residents caring for her family and geriatric patients.
Additionally, she had the opportunity to complete the Lifestyle Medicine Board and the Obesity Medicine Board certification while working as an Assistant Professor at Loma Linda University Family Medicine Residency. She finished her MBA with a track in strategic leadership and was promoted to LLUH Family Medicine Residency Associate Program Director. She is happily married and has a little girl named Celine. She can often be seen singing loudly in her car around campus in her free time. She also enjoys reading and hiking with her family, traveling, and playing volleyball.
