Pursuing a career in oncology was a dream I embraced with extraordinary passion, since it involves caring for patients in exceptionally difficult medical situations, while offering captivating scientific advances that have revolutionized how cancer is understood and treated to a whole new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are you most proud of in your career?&nbsp; <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am one of the few Latina women in oncology and cancer research in the U.S. As of 2018, less than 5% of oncologists were Hispanic; of those, only a third are women. I am so proud to represent the hard work and professionalism of the Latina women in science!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Who is a woman\/mentor you admire?&nbsp; <\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Linda T. Vahdat, the Section Chief of Medical Oncology at Dartmouth Cancer Center. Dr. Vahdat is a role model for me in the way she navigates academic life while maintaining a strong commitment to her patients and scholarship. She has contributed to my success by inspiring me to reach new heights as a woman in science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>What advice do you have for women who are entering the field of science? <\/strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Identify and trust your abilities as a scientist! You can go down many paths in science that could lead you to even better ones. I would also advise cultivating collaborations to learn novel techniques and state-of-the-art methods to advance the knowledge in your field. In addition, I encourage women to support other women, especially those from underrepresented groups like me!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why did you pursue a career in science?&nbsp; Choosing a career in science provided me with intellectual challenges, problem-solving opportunities, and the potential to make a positive contribution in the care of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":31264,"template":"single-cri_stories_womens-history-month","cri_story_type":[716,747],"resource_cancer_types":[],"resource_patient_age":[],"resource_cancer_stage":[],"resource_treatment_type":[],"resource_treatment_status":[],"class_list":["post-31270","cri_stories","type-cri_stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cri_story_type-womens-history-month","cri_story_type-whm-2024"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
