Teri Ruiz

Bio

My life goals are to be able to travel the world and experience different cultures while helping individuals with my own attained knowledge. I wish to give back to my community by being a mentor and opening spaces for Latinx individuals going into the medical field in order to bring diversity to the workforce and a sense of advocacy for my people.
