I was born in Cali, Colombia and moved to the U.S. with my family when I was seven. We moved to Philadelphia, PA where it would take me until junior year of high school to have my first Philly cheesesteak. I studied Sociology at Yale and then moved coasts for medical school at Oregon Health & Science University.

Why Utah?
I was lucky enough to have visited SLC multiple times before moving here for residency. The nearness of the mountains was definitely a highlight and in between hikes I had the chance to attend an outdoor bluegrass concert in a super cool venue and discover a South American corner store. Interviewing here, I remember how warm and welcoming everyone was, and how they not only valued their residents' training but also well-being. I am thrilled to have matched here and hope to figure out snowboarding sometime in the next 4 years.
