Passionate About:

My passion lies in creating equitable healthcare opportunities for underserved communities, particularly for those facing language barriers and systemic neglect. Growing up in a predominantly Hispanic community near the Mexican border, I witnessed firsthand the challenges undocumented individuals and non-English speakers face when navigating the healthcare system. These experiences have fueled my determination to become a physician who not only provides medical care but also advocates for justice and compassion in healthcare.
Through hands-on experiences, like serving as a caregiver for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, I’ve seen how impactful a supportive and empathetic healthcare professional can be. I am deeply committed to developing my skills, understanding the complexities of patient care, and addressing the mental and emotional needs of those I serve. My passion for this field extends beyond clinical work—I strive to implement policies and initiatives that bridge gaps in care and ensure healthcare is a right for everyone, regardless of their background or status.
