In Person
I am a current Emergency Medicine resident at Advocate Christ Medical Center. I graduated from Loyola University Chicago in 2016 where I majored in Biochemistry with minors in Spanish, Neuroscience, and Biostatistics. I then completed the MAMS program at Loyola and worked as a scribe in the Emergency Department at RUSH University Medical Center before attending the Stritch School of Medicine.
MORE
I first became interested in medicine from my own personal experiences inside the operating room, where I had more than a handful of surgeries growing up. But this early inspiration had the opportunity to flourish in the classes and clinical experiences I took part in during undergrad. One of the most influential moments of my undergraduate career came when I took Spanish for Medical Professionals. In conjunction with this class, I shadowed the physician-patient-interpreter interactions at a clinic on the southwest side of Chicago. This experience opened my eyes to the social justice side of medicine, which has influenced the rest of my education and current career.
I attended Loyola's SSOM where I was involved in research focusing on Addiction Medicine in the Emergency Department, volunteered as a mentor and tutor to peer medical students as well as undergraduate/graduate students, and held many leadership roles in my school's as well as national Emergency Medicine organizations. I am now an Emergency Medicine resident at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn (on the south side of Chicago).
