Read Bio

Where did you grow up? 

I grew up in Boca Raton, Florida. I moved to Tampa, Florida to complete two four-year degrees in biology and international studies at the University of South Florida. 

Do you have any hobbies or fun facts?

I used to play basketball for several years and I am a huge fan of the Miami Heat! I enjoy weightlifting to maintain my health. I studied abroad in Argentina for a month to learn about human rights.

What do you love most about fellowship/Lurie?

The people at Lurie make me feel at home. I can be myself without feeling I have to hide a part of my identity. Everyone I met are big advocates for their patients and are very involved in the community.
