About
I am a 23-year old Puerto Rican student that recently graduated from college at the University of Puerto Rico - Rio Piedras Campus. My major focused on Cellular and Molecular Biology that emphasizes understanding life by studying the molecular, structural, and physiological mechanisms that make cells - the basic unit of life - what they are. Throughout my academic years, I had tremendous opportunities to serve the community that aligned my career interest in clinical pharmacy, given my desire to contribute to patients' well-being. Hence, I am looking forward to beginning my pharmacy doctorate in August 2021 at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor to fulfill my professional goals.
