"As a Texas A&M International University alumna, I am excited to share that I've been accepted into Harvard Medical School’s Bernardo Sabatini Laboratory as a Research Assistant, with the goal of applying to MD/PhD programs and becoming a physician-scientist. Holding both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology from TAMIU, I've gained valuable experiences from being a TAMIU student, which has led me to work at the National Institute of Health, presenting at major conferences, and publishing in academic journals. I've been honored with multiple awards for my academic and community contributions, and my research interests include the neuroscience behind learning and behavior and the dopamine reward system. I credit my success to the support of my family, mentors, and my faith."
