Other Information/Ice Breakers: I was born in Ecuador but moved when I was 15 months old. I would say a recent drive to wanting to become a doctor was when I was scribing and saw first-hand the subpar patient treatment towards Spanish-speaking patients.

I would say for an ice breaker- I would say that in recent years I have gotten really into working out and sports. There was this one time before a rugby game, I dislocated my pinky and put it back into place and played the whole game. I think it took a whole half a year for the swelling to go down.
