About Me:

When I’m not at work, you can find me at my crossfit gym or hiking with my dog, Doppler.

Why I love Bronxcare:

It’s a very humbling experience to work in such a disadvantaged community. The program itself is very supporting and your colleagues will quickly become your family

About Me:

Lift weights. Sip Saké. (I’m a certified sommelier!) Life is good

Why I love Bronxcare:

For the first time ever, I find myself excited to start Monday mornings. The leadership at this program are geniuses at coaching each resident’s strengths, while keeping us feeling safe and comfortable to practice our own individual styles. It’s like a championship-level Olympics team and family all in one.

Born and raised in Venezuela. I graduated from the Universidad Central de Venezuela and came to New York to follow my dreams and pursue psychiatry. I am also here to pet the dogs. All the dogs!

Why I love Bronxcare:

Bronxcare quickly became a second home for me. You feel incredibly supported by a family of residents and attendings, and you get exposure to a wide variety of pathologies

About Me:

Can be found in the hospital, on the mountains or watching the Raptors. Especially interested in the intersection of adolescent psychiatry and global mental health

Why I love Bronxcare:

The opportunity to work at a program that gives us the privilege to serve the most vulnerable and underserved population of NYC; allowing a great opportunity to train and be exposed to an array of different psychopathology. All that while working in one of the most multidisciplinary fields with a strong sense of commitment across the board.
