Upon completion of her undergraduate degree, she returned to Albuquerque to spend more time with her family, and she graduated medical school from University of New Mexico in 2011. She finished her Internal Medicine Residency at University of Arizona in 2014. She is currently a second-year fellow at University of South Florida and Moffitt Cancer Center. In residency, her research focused on molecular diagnostics and risk analysis in breast cancer in an under-resourced population. However, soon after she began her fellowship training she changed her interest from breast cancer to molecular aspects of prognosis and drug targeting in hematologic malignancies. She previously has been selected as a participant in the Hemostasis and Thrombosis Research Society Coagulation Disorders Workshop in 2014 and also attended the Center for Advanced Training in Hemophilia and Inhibitor Management at Tulane University in 2015. This October, she is doing a special elective in benign hematology (primarily hemostasis and thrombosis) at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous Visiting Fellows &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":38607,"featured_media":0,"parent":2213,"menu_order":11,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-2343","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
