I grew up among dentist parents, and all my life I knew it was my vocation as well. I remember the first day of classes at UDEM, the excitement of starting a new stage to train as a Medical Surgeon Dentist, learning from my teachers specialists in different areas of dentistry and fellow doctors in common core subjects with medicine.

It was a great time, I met many people and I got involved in different activities offered by the university, student society, leaders plus, Saturdays in lánzate, medical brigades, study trips and different activities that helped in my personal and professional development.

I finished my degree and was given the honor of receiving the Summa Cum Laude award, graduation day was a moment that I will always keep in my heart. I had the opportunity to do my social service in a dental specialty center of the health secretariat, where I learned different ways of working and lived with colleagues from other schools and it was very enriching. There I decided that my vocation was to study Orthodontics and Orthopedics to dedicate myself to helping my patients smile with confidence and security.

I did my master's degree in Mexico City and returned to Monterrey to work with much enthusiasm, and after a few years of being part of teams with specialists and different offices, I decided to open my own office “KOA” in Centro Valle.
