Biosketch I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. When I was twelve my family and I moved to the United States, where I almost instantly fell in love with physiology and its findings. Ever since the seventh grade, I knew I had to integrate this passion into the career I wanted to pursue, and the professional I wanted to become. Besides pursuing my major as a Biomedical Engineer at the University of Florida and preparing for the medical field, I also cultivate several passions including Flamenco dancing, a typical Spaniard dance, and the casual cook.
