About
I’m Venezuelan, and I carry my roots into every room and every patient conversation in Spanish. A proud FIU and UMiami alum, I’m now a plastic and reconstructive surgery resident at Yale, passionate about mentoring students who don’t yet see themselves in medicine. Looking ahead, I hope to pursue specialized training in melanoma surgery and reconstruction.
