ABOUT ME

I'm Argentine, lived half my life in Houston, Texas. Studied Management Information Systems and Philosophy in college, and after working in IT for a few years, decided to change careers and study medicine (which I did back in Buenos Aires). Finished with med school & just moved back to Houston! Preparing for residency entrance exams to apply to Psychiatry in fall 2016.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem, make the most out of life, enjoy it to the fullest, learn, love, explore, enjoy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On my last year in med school I was sent to Tucuman, a northern province in Argentina, for a rural medical rotation...I had my motorcycle with me, and at the end of the rotation, I traveled north on my own, no goal other than to experience and enjoy the ride...crossing through Tucuman province and into Salta was quite an experience, especially driving through the town of Cafayate, and the national park Quebrada de las Conchas...can't wait to go back!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my love of Argentine Tango - have been dancing it for almost 10 yrs now, and it's a passion! Always willing to show someone the basic moves, but I warn you it's highly addictive!
