Recipient of the

Fraternal Order of Moai Award

Field of Study:

Medicine; Universidad de Chile

I'm 23 years old and I'm currently in my 4th year of Medicine at the University of Chile. Since I was a child I have been interested in the health area. My parents are kinesiologists and many times I had to accompany them while they worked at the hospital. When i graduate from college, I plan to work at Hanga Roa Hospital. My plan was always to help the Rapa Nui community, to provide quality care, to empathize with the situation of my patients and to be able to leave them satisfied with the care I provide. After practicing on Rapa Nui, I plan to specialize in the area of psychiatry, because the island lacks this specialty,
