I am a California native growing up in Cerritos and graduating from the University of California, San Diego. I was attracted to the U of A by the friendliness of the faculty, staff, and openness of me leaving after 2 years for a pediatric neurology fellowship. I love it here for the encouraging and supportive director and awesome faculty who are also supportive and have a passion for teaching. When I am not working I like to do some salsa dancing or take a hike. My next step along my pediatric path will be conquering pediatric neurology.
