    Resident Member

    Mass General Brigham

     I graduated from Williams College with a BA in History and subsequently earned my MD from Harvard Medical School. I am currently a second-year resident in the Harvard Affiliated Emergency Medicine Residency Program at MassGeneral Brigham. My career thus far has been shaped by a strong interest in the intersection of medicine, education, and equity. These values grew from my roots as an Ecuadorian-American with personal experiences witnessing how language barriers and documentation status can compound challenges of interacting with the healthcare system. These principles motivate both my clinical work and my research.

    I have participated in several SAEM Annual Meetings as a research presenter, grant recipient, and Medical Student Ambassador. As a Medical Student Ambassador, I had the privilege of attending and assisting with numerous sessions each day. Among these experiences, the Academy for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine (AWAEM) session stood out as uniquely inspiring. The environment of excellence and inclusion was immediately evident, and the session embodied the values I aim to cultivate in my own career.

    I am eager to support AWAEM’s mission of promoting gender equity and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from its distinguished members. If elected as Resident Member, I plan to strengthen mentorship programs with a particular emphasis on medical students and residents. Mentorship is increasingly vital in the current sociopolitical climate, as ongoing challenges to equity and inclusion threaten many existing support systems. I hope to reinforce AWAEM’s mentorship network through a structured, multi-tiered program that connects faculty, residents, and medical students based on shared interests and identities, complemented by practical workshops on leadership, research, and self-advocacy. These initiatives aim to create inclusive, sustainable mentorship structures that empower women across all stages of training.
