My Story

I was born in Albuquerque New Mexico. I moved to Utah when I was 8 years old.

My favorite animal is elephants because I admire their intelligence and resilience. My favorite food is empanadas because it reminds me of my humanitarian trip to Costa Rica where I learned to look outside of myself. My favorite color is pink because it reminds me of my childhood where I believed anything was possible.

Over the past 5 years I have struggled with an autoimmune disease called CRMO. Because of this I have seen many doctors, undergone many tests and treatments, and spent a lot of time in the hospital. Many doctors could not figure out what was wrong with me. Instead of fighting to find a diagnosis for me, they often just told me that nothing was wrong. Finding a doctor who fought for me made all the difference. I reached a diagnosis. I was able to start treatment. I lived with a better quality of life.

I want to pursue a career in medicine so I can be a doctor who fights for my patients.

Right now I am a high school student focusing on academic success with a passion for god, people, and travel.
