My life weaves a tapestry of love, growth, and gratitude, anchored by my roles as a devoted wife and mother of three. These cherished roles have shaped my journey in dentistry, where my unwavering commitment to excellence resonates deeply with those I serve.

I specialized in Endodontics at the University of Concepcion in Chile, refining my skills in delivering compassionate dental care. A master's degree in education from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile enriched my commitment to nurturing young minds.

Earning a Doctorate Cum Laude in Health Sciences from the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya in Spain reflected both my academic worth and personal growth. Embracing the title of Full Professor, I proudly review esteemed journals such as JOE and IEJ, standing as a guardian of academic excellence.

Beyond the classroom, sharing knowledge at international conferences and publishing in respected journals brings me immense joy. Prestigious research awards, including FONIS and FONDECYT, fuel my fervor for pioneering innovation.

For over two decades, I've extended compassionate endodontic care, offering comfort and healing. At the Universidad de los Andes, I lead research in artificial intelligence, dental regeneration, and biomarkers. As Director of Research and Doctoral studies, I'm profoundly grateful for a life illuminated by education, family, and purpose, enriching my journey with profound fulfillment.
