Summary

• I obtained my medical degree at the Catholic University of Cuenca, Ecuador, followed by an Internal Medicine Residency at the University of Connecticut. Became a Chief Medical Resident in preparation for a future academic career. Merited induction into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society for my educational contribution to the University of Connecticut Internal Medicine Program. Currently training as a Hematology and Oncology Fellow at the Boston University Medical Center.
  
  I am interested in classical hematology, particularly hemostasis, thrombosis, and immune-related cytopenias. My long-term goal is to become an academic physician with participation in clinical research and medical education. I am devoted to serving patients from different social and cultural backgrounds, ensuring patient-centered care with quality and compassion, and providing bilingual services to English and Spanish-speaking patients. As an international graduate, my commitment is to address health disparities in my practice and research activities, hoping that my work impacts patients' lives on a larger scale.
  
  Previously served as the 2021-2022 UCONN ASCO Oncology Student Interest Group (OSIG) president to provide networking opportunities for students and residents and get to know the oncology field. I am strongly interested in using technology in medicine for networking and education. I founded two educational websites, ecuadoctors.com (a blog created to share experiences for the US Medical Residency application process and mentorship of International Medical Graduates) and classicalhematology.com (an academic website focused on creating educational materials and networking opportunities). Furthermore, I led the creation of the "UCONN IM Podcast" as an alternative resource for teaching residents and medical students.
  
  In my spare time, I enjoy outdoor activities, sports (playing soccer and tennis), music (playing guitar and singing), karaoke, gaming, and spending time with my family.
