4 years ago I was applying for cardiology fellowship, and today I’m applying for an attending license. How did the time pass so fast! 😭

I remember walking out of my college career advisor office crying because they told me I’d never get into medical school. Then being told as a Caribbean medical student I wouldn’t get residency easily. And as a community hospital resident, cardiology would be impossible. (1/2)

Same! Horrible in the McAT x2. Caribeña school. Failed two classes my first semester. Had to appeal to continue as they wanted to expel me. Passed the appeal process. Starting and Interventional Cardiology Fellowship in July 2024. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

But, I was stubborn and didn’t listen and put in the work and it happened. Moral of the story is: no one can stop you but YOU. Put in the work and the reward will be endless. The path may not ever be linear, but it doesn’t mean you won’t get there.

Back in the USA after an incredible week-long mission trip to Havana, Cuba. There are no words to describe what an amazing experience it was to not only help residents and patients there, but to also get to see my father’s childhood home and explore my roots. Beyond grateful. ❤️

As I reflect on my weekend with the

Proud to be from this state!
Women are doctors.
Women are nurses.
Women are grocery store workers.
Women are child care providers.
Women are heroes who are on the front lines of our
