I was born and raised in Southern California, with my hometown in San Diego. I went to medical school at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara and have a big passion for family medicine. I am especially interested in keeping people healthy, helping women and children, and making sure patients in underserved communities get the care they need. My goal is to make a difference in people’s lives by being kind, understanding, and respectful. I also want to build strong, lasting relationships with my patients. Outside of medicine, I love being outdoors—whether it’s hiking, running on the beach, or trying a new fitness class. I also enjoy finding new restaurants and coffee shops when I travel and reading mystery and thriller books.
