My bio

I grew up between Medellin and the peace of the Amazon rain forest. I have a beautiful wife and two toddlers. During my free time, I enjoy learning about rare conditions, playing with my children and doing sports. I chose UF because of the amazing environment and teaching opportunities. My wife and I live in a house with many animals!
