About me

My vocation for medicine came very early in life, when my mother took me to the hospital where she worked. I always admired the ability of a professional who was able to make people feel better by listening and examining people. Once I was in highschool I knew that the sciences were my thing, which shoed perfectly with my admiration for medicine.
During my experience through this wonderful career, I discovered pure and true gratitude from children, I have never been able to stop marveling at these supernatural beings who teach us every day the value of life. Once in Pediatrics, I found in my passion in Cardiology, more specifically arrhythmias.
