I'm a dedicated learner driven with a passion for healthcare, aspiring to become a physician assistant and medical researcher. My motivation is deeply rooted in my family, a commitment to personal growth, and a genuine desire to serve others.
As a first-generation immigrant, I'm determined to set a higher standard for those who follow and to inspire Hispanic women to pursue their dreams in any field they choose.
