However, and as a cancer survivor too, I have struggled recently with: dizziness/ fainting due to very low blood sugar, forgetting to take my meds and pain (lots).

Thankfully I have been able to pay for all medical bills and also invest in a service dog to help me. 🤍

Hi everyone!
I’m looking to establish connections with professionals that work directly with patients with ADHD. An MD, PsyD, PhD, you name it! Diverse expertise is welcomed.

If you’re this professional or know someone please send me a DM or email at aberrios20@stu.psm.edu. 🫶🏼

#SfN23 was incredibly good to me. I met so many wonderful people and organizations interested in my work, it feels surreal.

Also, presenting 3 posters felt like a marathon so I’m very proud of myself!

A colorful deck of cards that features self-compassion. The box has text in Spanish that reads “Autocompasión bePResent cards, tarjetas de auto-compasión en Español hechas en Puerto Rico en colaboración con @EstoySanando”. There is a green plant with leaves on the right corner.

Today is the soft launch of something very special I’ve been working on with one of my mentors Dr. Atabey Torres and Dr. Brenda Flores (bePResent PR).

We made a Self-Compassion Card Deck in Spanish directly from Puerto Rico! It features both affirmations and exercises. ✨🩷

Yesterday I was participating in the '9th Behavioral Health Student Research Symposium of Southern Puerto Rico' at Ponce Health Sciences University presenting two of my research projects.

Happy to share that I won 3rd place in both categories (oral and poster).
