Allergy-Immunology Fellows
(2025-2026)
Hometown: Lecheria, Venezuela
When I study medicine, I most enjoy learning about: Embryology because it was incredibly exciting to learn how a single egg begins to divide and develop into an embryo and eventually a fetus.
Things that make me unique are: I'm always there for my people - my friends and family know they can count on me. I also love bringing something when I visit, usually a homemade treat, because giving is one of my love languages. PS: My brownies are kind of famous among my loved ones!
I'm not only a doctor, I also like to: Explore local coffee shops (I'm a huge fan of supporting small businesses!), capturing moments through photography, and spending time outdoors. Whether it's hiking or being in nature, I find it helps me reconnect with myself and stay grounded.
To get myself motivated I think of: The next national park I'm planning to visit!
My favorite movies or tv shows include: Pride and Prejudice, This Is Us, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries
I chose this UAMS Fellowship Program because: The faculty was incredibly approachable, thoughtful, and welcoming - they gave me such a warm impression from the very first day of my interview. I remember calling my husband afterward, and he could tell how genuinely happy I was. He said, "I can it in your voice - this is the right place for you." That moment confirmed what I was already feeling. I was also drawn to the incredible research opportunities and the highly accomplished faculty who have made meaningful contributions to the field. I knew I wanted to learn from them and grow in that envrionment!

Hometown: Oklahoma City, OK
When I study medicine, I most enjoy learning about: Health disparities and ideas to one day try to eliminate them. I also enjoy learning about new medications and how they may potentially change the field.
Things that make me unique are: I just got married this past year, fluent in Arabic, and plan to win a Fantasy Football Championship.
I'm not only a doctor, I also like to: Cheer on the Sooners and OKC Thunder. I also enjoy spending time with family, playing basketball, and being outdoors.
To get myself motivated I think of: My family and the potential we have to make each day better for the individuals and families we treat.
My favorite movies or tv shows include: Rush Hour, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and Breaking Bad.
I chose this UAMS Fellowship Program because: How genuinely kind and welcoming everyone is. There's also so much experience to learning from with lots of interesting research taking place.
