“Thank you to the UF-AHA community for selecting me as a recipient of the Colonel Glenn A. Farris scholarship. This scholarship means a lot to me because it allows me to continue to immerse myself in my studies to become the best health care provider possible without having to worry about financial challenges. Learning medicine can be mentally and physically challenging but having the Gator Latinx community support me is a great reminder that there’s a lot of people that believe in me and want me to succeed. “
