Pulm/CCM PGY5

Personal Statement:

I am a graduate of the UT Health San Antonio School of Health Professions Department of Respiratory Care, where my passion for this field began. I was born in Uvalde and raised in Eagle Pass, Texas and understand the need for bilingual care providers. I have witnessed the disparities of the underserved communities in South Texas and Mexico. As a bilingual Hispanic provider, I feel strongly that I will be able to advocate for the community in San Antonio

I am most excited to return to San Antonio to be near family and rodeo as well as eat all the tacos and Whataburger!
