- Career Interest:
My research and volunteer interests have inspired me to pursue a career in medicine, focusing on women’s health. I hope to improve access and education in women’s healthcare, as well as contribute to advancing research in underrepresented women’s health issues.
- Fun Fact: I love listening and dancing to Spanish music. I started learning bachata and salsa a few years ago, and since then, I’ve enjoyed incorporating new forms of movement into my life.
- Why Research:
I’ve been doing research on campus for the past three years, and it has taught me to think critically and take a leading role in my own project. As I’ve progressed into more advanced stages of research, I’ve been able to better understand the research process, develop strong scientific communication skills, and feel a sense of pride in my years of work.
