Profile
I was born in Cali, Colombia and grew up in Northern Virginia. I completed my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering at Cornell University, where my research focus was on musculoskeletal disease and the microbiome. My experiences and mentors have supported me to continue my education at UCSD and I hope to give back to those of similar backgrounds so they can do the same. At UCSD, I plan on continuing research in orthopedics with an emphasis on injectable therapeutics to better treat injury. I am very grateful to be a Sloan Scholar and plan to make the most of the opportunity.
