About
I am first-generation Latina who is passionate about serving the diverse communities of Chicago. As a bilingual physician, my goal is to increase access to language concordant care to our Spanish-speaking patients. I am also interested in medical education and mentoring students from underrepresented groups in medicine. Family Medicine spoke to me as a specialty given the opportunity to care for patients throughout all life stages and be able to provide every level of prevention.
Clinical Interests:
- Reproductive health
- Medical education
