Hi everyone! As a B-side CA, I’m thrilled to welcome you to one of the best communities on campus and support you as you explore your new passions! 

My academic journey has been shaped by my desire to understand how behavior and environment influence well-being, which led to my concentration in 'Bio-Social Determinants of Health.' My interests in public health led me to Stanford’s Food for Health Equity Lab where I conducted nutritional intervention research for Latine adults with diabetes. These experiences then inspired me to pursue a minor in Human Rights where I learned how immigration and geopolitical forces shape the quality of life for displaced populations. I continued to explore my interests in immigrant health by volunteering as a math tutor for undocumented students at Sequoia High School, supporting ICE detainees through a national hotline, and providing trauma-informed medical care to refugees in Mexico. Lastly, I also really enjoyed being a frosh RA at Cedro!

School and extracurriculars aside, I enjoy cooking, running (I’m working on finding the motivation to run a marathon), or recreating DIY projects from my Pinterest board. I remember having sooo many questions when I took the HumBio core so please don’t hesitate to reach out. School can be overwhelming at times, but know that we’re here to help you every step of the way!!
