I come from a big Hispanic family where I was the first to attend college, so I started at community college right out of high school to figure out my path. It was there that I discovered a real passion for the sciences, especially the brain and psychology. I’m fascinated by how early life experiences shape who we become, and I love connecting with people to understand what motivates their actions. My goal is to go to PA school, where I can combine my love for science with my passion for working closely with people. Outside of academics, I love reading novels at the beach, playing piano, and trying new foods!
