I am a Puerto Rican undergraduate researcher and aspiring physician-scientist focused on neuroscience and health equity. My research explores the anxiolytic potential of marine macroalgae, while I also engage in community-based research within disadvantaged populations. I have presented at national conferences and earned competitive fellowships that reinforce my commitment to impactful science. Beyond the lab, I lead as a dance instructor, team captain, and mentor, empowering others through education and representation. My goal is to become a physician-scientist and help create a future where innovation and healthcare are accessible to all.
