Biography:
I am a Hispanic professional student, I grew up along the border in El Paso, Texas. My parents moved to the United States from Mexico while they were in high school. I am mindful of where I am from and where I want to go professionally, but I try to take time to explore and do things I enjoy. I love pharmacy for the mechanisms behind the drugs, for the impact our knowledge can have on a person’s health and for the opportunity within the field.
