Moving to NYC ❤ — The Beginning of My Residency Journey

Moving from Los Angeles to New York in 2020 to begin OB/GYN residency ❤ A new city, a new chapter and so many feelings. Here is what that moment was like for me.

Hello my friends, hope you are enjoying this weekend to the maximum!!

In 2020, I was spending my last day in Los Angeles before flying to NYC to begin OB/GYN residency during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Very excited about this new journey, all I have worked during my entire life, medical school, hospital, research, exams, came to an end, and fruitful new beginning. ☀️

When I started med school in Argentina with only 18 years old I never even thought at that time that I would end up being a doctor in NYC.

Hard work, discipline, pursuing your goals, and many, many hours of studying helped me reach this moment. 💪

I have always been a fan of the change, I can’t just be static in my life, in one place, not growing my mind, heart, and soul. 🧠 ❤️ 🙏

Change always brings new improvements, change means progress, means breaking the habit, new opportunities, new beginnings, which will also lead you to meet new great people, places & adventures.

Growing is a process. Sometimes you will win, lose, cry, learn, or change direction. Please keep making room for your dreams—and for yourself.

All the best to you all, tons of success, no matter your current situation or where you are - continue working hard, pursuring your goals and purpose in life, don’t be afraid of change.

New York City see I'm coming for you! ♥️ 🍎

At that time, I also shared that I had stopped eating meat and dairy and was trying a plant-based diet. This was a personal update from that chapter of my life.

Love, help, and care for yourself and others along the way. Keep moving toward the life you want ❤.
