I am 22 years old, and I grew up in Mexico. I graduated from the University of Arizona with my bachelors in pharmaceutical sciences in May of 2023. I am currently a second-year pharmacy student pursuing my PharmD, and I am a pharmacy intern at Walgreens. I have been working at Walgreens for about 2 years and I love being able to have an impact on patients through pharmacy practice. A fun fact about me is that I am a Real Madrid fan.
