Jelix is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology at the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo; throughout her final years of school, she demonstrated—and continues to show—a strong commitment to service, leadership, and community work—experiences that have reaffirmed her desire to study medicine. Her participation in the García Rinaldi Foundation summer camp gave her direct exposure to medical practice through job shadowing and clinical experiences, strengthening skills such as communication and critical thinking. This opportunity represents a decisive step in confirming her vocation and advancing toward her goal of becoming a physician.
