About Me
I am a third-year studying Applied Physiology and Kinesiology on the Pre-Med track at the University of Florida. I aspire to go to medical school and become a Sports Medicine Physician in the future. My academic interests have led me to focus on research in orthopedics, where I specialize in comparing ACL graft types to enhance surgical outcomes and rehabilitation techniques. Outside of academics, I am passionate about soccer, running and traveling. Being from Miami, I also enjoy spending time at the beach and value time with my family and friends, embracing an active and balanced lifestyle.
