Personal Statement:

I chose UT Health San Antonio because of its robust training sites, the opportunity to experience all fields of pulmonology, and the transplant center! A lot of my research thus far has focused on a variety of internal medicine topics and social determinants of health. I am excited to further explore pulmonary transplant and environmental medicine as a fellow!
