Interests/Hobbies: Photography: My way to relax and disconnect is by wandering around the city with my camera. I have actively sought opportunities to share and showcase my photos in the past years, particularly my nature photos.

Cooking: I'm nowhere near being an expert cook, but I consider a BBQ the perfect weekend activity. From the classic 'carne asada' on

the grill to experimenting with burger toppings. During this past year, despite being far from Mexico, I've found joy in cooking and

experimenting with classic Mexican recipes.

Watching Sports: I'm a fan of Tigres, one of my city's soccer teams. While living in Monterrey, my father and I would attend their games

every 2 weeks. I'm still an avid fan from afar. While in medical school, my friends introduced me to fantasy football, and I've been a fan

of the NFL ever since.

Technology enthusiast: I find joy in learning about the latest advancements in technology and devices. Easy access to AI tools this past

year has allowed me to explore other areas of creativity.

Ranching/Wildlife Enthusiast: I enjoy laying corn for wildlife, bird watching dove and quail, and observing deer from the hunting blind

in Pearsall, Texas.

Tennis: I have played tennis competitively since childhood. I was a member of the varsity tennis team throughout high school and

competed in many tournaments. Currently, I play tennis with friends and family in my free time.
