Graduated from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí and participated in an exchange program in Granada, Spain. This experience broadened my perspective in dentistry, allowing me to learn various styles and expand my clinical vision and decision-making. I had the opportunity to work at Esthetic Dental Center, which enhanced my knowledge in dental aesthetics and patient management. This experience was invaluable in learning how to perform aesthetic dentistry from A to Z. Aesthetic dentistry is my area of greatest development and passion. I am always eager to learn more about this field and enhance my skills. I am motivated to take on new challenges and clinical cases that test my clinical abilities.
