-Hello! I was born in Memphis, TN but I moved to the Bremerton/ Silverdale area of Washington when I was around ten years old.
-I have a younger brother and some of my favorite hobbies are reading (Dune is my favorite book!), watching movies (mainly the sad ones), and trying new foods (in the picture is an interesting burger I had while in Berlin).
-I am interested in medicine because at this point in my life, I have never been treated by a physician that was a woman of color. I understand what it is like to worry about not being taken seriously and to feel uncomfortable because of looking like an “outsider.” I hope to be one more physician that can provide comfort and confidence in a patient that they are being heard.

Hey everyone!
I was born in Joliet, Illinois but moved to Oregon at 7 years old and to Washington at 14 and have lived in Yakima for the past 6 years now. As a Hispanic female, I’ve seen many of my relatives struggle with getting the help they need due to language barriers and this has motivated me to pursue a career in medicine so that I may one day help and give back to my community. A fun fact about me is medical careers run in my family, My grandmother was a nurse in the military, my mother is a CNA and now my sister is about to go into nursing school. I hope I can keep this going! See you guys soon!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great summer so far.
I was born in Camp Pendleton, which is a military base in California. From there I have lived most of my life in the South Seattle area (currently in Federal Way); but I spent a large chunk in rural Washington and an even more rural community in Eastern OR. I graduated high school there and I am attending Portland State University as a full fledged Oregonian.

I happened to be born on Dia de Los Muertos, which has inspired me to pursue forensic pathology medicine and the intertwining of spirituality and medicine. I look forward to meeting everyone!

Hello,
I grew up in Bellevue, Washington, and moved to
Puyallup with my family when I was 24. Now I live in Tacoma, Washington. Since the first move, I have lived in a couple of different places; San Diego, Avon(CO), Sitka(AK), Hawaii (Norweigan Cruise Line). A couple of years ago, I was at a crossroads at a hospital. My father was dying of pancreatic cancer. My family was concerned for my future. They did not think my career in baking would sustain me. I have had some medical issues and had talked to technicians at different appointments to get their point of view. So after some research, I started at Tacoma Community College to pursue a career in healthcare.
