Where are you from?

Guanajuato, Mexico. My family and I immigrated to the US when I was only 5 months old and we settled in South Central Los Angeles which I have called home ever since.

Interests

I enjoy attending music concerts, spending time with my family, and most recently have started to get back into the gym. I love to travel and my most recent trip was to Santorini and Athens.

Why did you choose UC Davis EM?

I wanted to train at a program that values diversity and is making efforts in several ways to promote DEI within the program and within the community. UC Davis serves a rich diverse population which was a big part of my reason for choosing them.
