Hobbies

I enjoy spending time outdoors whether walking or riding; I organize my time to have time to read non-medical books such as astronomy, business, financial education in general, about coffee cultivation, processes and preparation, and personal development.

I consider that interpersonal relationships are important, so I make time several times a month to spend time with friends.

I delight in spending 10 minutes watering and caring for my plants.

I look for new medical information that generates more doubts and challenges me to continue researching, such as clinical cases or new management of pathologies that continually arise in my work area.
