Web Administrator | Biomedical Sciences Major, Minor in Biomedical Engineering

​

About Me
I am a Biomedical Sciences major with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I am interested in a future career in surgery or dermatology because I’ve always enjoyed working with my hands, whether it’s drawing, sculpting, or playing music, and I like the idea of using those skills in medicine. I also enjoy research for the same reasons — it challenges me to be patient, creative, and detail-oriented.

​

Role in MPO
As MPO’s Web Administrator, I manage the organization’s website. This year, I am excited for our upcoming bus trip to explore new opportunities.

​

Other Involvements

• Research Assistant in UTEP’s Department of Chemistry, studying the effects of PFAS on biosystems with hopes of expanding to live organism research​

​

Outside Interests
I enjoy reading fiction and graphic novels, playing sports, lifting weights, and spending time outdoors since I love the ocean and nature.
