About

Very young, I discovered a big motivation in my life: the desire of helping people and to use my knowledge to improve people's life. It took me some time to discover what path should be taken. In my senior year in college, I found a new passion. I was in love with the human body and the health science. I believe that I was not the one that chose health science, but health science chose me.It was not a simple choice to be made, many obstacles had to be overcome. The dream was bigger and more powerful than the times I thought in giving up because of any difficultly on the road. My dream is not in becoming rich or a famous professional, my wish is to help people and be memorable. I wish in using my capacity to have empathy with others to see, feel and help my patients. I wish in being a tool for hope for families that relay in your knowledge to save one of their family members. I wish to give the answer that my patients seek. I wish to be the hand that the patient feel comfortable to hold. I wish in having the knowledge to seek and solve the problem.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I wish in working in hospitals in the emergency room, where I believe that my personality more will fit.

Graduate school interests

My long term plan is to get my associates degree and transferring to an university that will give the knowledge necessary for me to help people.

Outside the classroom

I am a person that likes to stay with the family. My hobbies are to go out with my family and enjoy moments with them. Go out camping, traveling and having dinner with them are my favorite.
