FinalistBio
I’m a 23-year-old Cuban immigrant with a passion for nursing and patient care.
My interest in healthcare comes from a desire to combine science, compassion, and leadership in meaningful ways.
Alongside nursing, I’m building entrepreneurial goals rooted in wellness, education, and long-term independence.
I’m focused on creating a future where care, ambition and ownership coexist.
