¡¡¡Felicidades!!! Por la gente 🩷
I got tenure! Latinas make up ~1% of tenured faculty at R1 institutions. I'm the 1% bc my parents worked in cucumber fields over the summer to make sure I had access to the American Dream - new school clothes, a HS diploma, and a job out of the sun. I dared to dream bigger. 1/2

I’m so incredibly proud to be joining the 8% of latinas with masters degrees! A giant thank you to the @Hopkins_TRC and @hopkinssurgery and to my mentors @AndrewMCameron and @DrBetsyKing for supporting me!!! Por la gente!!!
