Good morning and welcome to #ACRO2025! Don’t miss out on today’s events including awesome leadership talks as part of the resident programming @ACROresident. Honored to share the stage with 🤩 Drs Emma Fields & Jerry Jaboin.
Preview of my talk on Inclusive & Representative Leadership☢️🧬

My brother, sister in law, niece (6), and nephew (8), left their home in Altadena in the middle of the night. This was all that was left 😞. How do you replace a lifetime? How do you rebuild a community? 💔 Consider donating or sharing if you are able 🙏🏽. gofund.me/854a0bc6

Merry Christmas all! May you get to spend even a few moments with those that mean the most. Grateful for another year with the people that remind me what it’s all about. 🎄☃️❤️

This just 🤯😡. In what world would this be considered a good step forward. Different realities.

Thankful today and everyday for the opportunity to have two strong, loving, passionate, caring, intelligent, independent women be the guiding lights in my life. ❤️❤️🦃🍁
Don’t know how much longer we’ll have my abuela mama with us but every moment with you is a gift. #GivingThanks

Favorite part of traveling is the Delta lounge. In Boston they have the most delicious 🧇😋!
Stressful week getting everything squared away for patient care, research, & the many committees.
However knowing I’ll get uninterrupted time with mom & grandma = worth it.
Looking forward to a week of family❤️

Love this!! Thanks for all you do! We need to get more docs into middle & high schools. When I was in HS it was an under resourced public school & we never had doctors come for career day. It made me think people like me don’t go to med school. Grateful that I can change the narrative. #Medsky 💪🏽🔥❤️

Radiation Oncologist ☢️🧬

I’d add oncologists #OncSky. The HPV vaccine has been a game changer. I worry about all the youngsters that we’ll see in the future with cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, head and neck cancer, anal cancer, penile cancer.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Vaccinations prevent cancer!

There are still good people out there. There have always been bad people too. You are awesome with or without someone. I found my person at 32. I’m 42 now. Still have a fear of (and rightfully so) marriage. Together without any legal documents. Flaws and all. Being fully me. It’s possible. 💪🏽💃

I went to an OncLive State of the Summit Gyn Onc event and won the end of the night raffle. Things are looking up 😏💙✨
