Originally from: El Paso, Texas

Education and training:

• Undergraduate: University of Texas at Dallas

Reasons I chose Duke:

• Having completed my residency at Duke and being part of an exceptionally supportive program both in and out of the hospital, I had many opportunities to collaborate closely with the Endocrine division – it always exceeded my expectations!
• I love working in an environment where everyone is passionate about their roles and arrives each day eager to learn and share knowledge with others.

Happy surprises:

• In the short time, since starting fellowship, everyone I work with genuinely feels like family, and I consistently feel supported both within the hospital and beyond.
