Biography

Biography:

Where is your hometown?

San José, Costa Rica


Where did you attend medical school?

Universidad de Ciencias Médicas, Costa Rica


Why did you choose the MSU/Sparrow Pediatric Residency Program?

During the interview, I could tell the residents were really happy there to be there and had good relationships amongst the other classes and attendings.


What do you like most about living in Michigan?

It's not everywhere you find genuinely friendly people. I have to say, I'm still getting used to strangers saying hello wherever you go.


What do you like most about living in Lansing?

I like that you can find small cute cafes and nice restaurants, but also I can walk a few miles from my place and walk through a forest trail.


What are your hobbies?

Dancing, hiking, eating.


What are your career goals?

I like general pediatrics, but I'm pretty sure I'll pursue a fellowship eventually. For now, I'm interested in Heme/Onc, but that could change in the next few years.
