Chief Resident

I am a Southern California native. My grandparents immigrated to the US and, together with my parents, taught me the value of living a life of service. I went to college at La Sierra University for a B.S. in Neuroscience and spent time abroad as a medical missionary in Peru. I completed a master’s degree from UC Irvine, in Biotechnology Management, and worked in biotech in San Diego. I was fortunate to attend Loma Linda University for Medical School. I decided to specialize in Family Medicine given my desire to serve the whole spectrum of my community. My future goals include working for the underserved, being a community advocate, and increasing diversity in the field of medicine.

I grew up in Monterey, CA, a biodiverse city by the sea! For undergrad, I moved to San Diego to study Biology as a first-generation student at SDSU. After SDSU, I worked for 2 years in a metabolic research lab at Touro University California. I transitioned from employee to medical student, learning the fine details of medicine and developing my skills in osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). I feel grateful to now work alongside intelligent and empathetic individuals at Loma Linda University Medical Center – Murrieta! My clinical interests include women’s health, OMM, sports medicine, and full-spectrum medicine for patients of all ages. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach and hiking/camping with my family.
