Biography

I am originally from Spain (Barcelona), but I’m currently studying in the US. Since I was little, I have had a big passion for medicine, healthcare, and engineering. This is why I decided to study biomedical engineering and fell in love with it. Currently, I study the brain, which is probably the organ in the body with the most unknowns. On the side, I like to learn about gender bias in the healthcare and science fields. In my free time, I like playing the flute, reading, and doing archery. I also enjoy spending time with my friends, and I try to travel as much as possible.

Why is science communication important to you personally?
