Why Ventura?

Growing up nearby in Arizona, I always wanted to live on the coast of California, and I figured there was no better time than during residency. Having spent the past 4 years traversing the nuances of living in a major east coast city, I felt it was time for a change of pace and to be closer to family and friends. Ventura, and Community Memorial Healthcare seemed like the ideal place. I was drawn to program’s small size for the opportunity of comradery, mentorship, and forming strong relationships. Meeting the residents during my interview day confirmed my hopes, as there was a palpable close-knit environment. Additionally, as a proud Mexican American I am excited to serve a diverse patient population with a large Hispanic representation. Overall, I am excited to catch breathtaking sunsets over the pacific, enjoy fish tacos by the pier, and embrace the idyllic coastal lifestyle while furthering my training in a wonderful community.

Next Adventure: Hoping to make the most of my time left in New England by visiting Acadia in Maine, the Capes of Massachusetts, and attend as many Red Sox games as possible before heading out West.

Medical Interests: Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Addiction Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Community Psychiatry.
