Jimena Romano Silva

I was born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles. I recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.A. in Integrative Biology. Professionally, my research and career interests center on health equity, preventive medicine, and mixed-methods research, with the ultimate goal of becoming a physician who provides culturally empathetic care to underserved communities. In life, I find profound joy in eating good food, staying active, and spending time in nature. My favorite things to do are long-distance running, studying in libraries, meal prepping, and exploring new places with my camera. Outside of STEMM, I am passionate about landscape and nature photography. Over the next year, I am most excited to build a supportive Stanford community, develop my clinical research skills, learn from incredible mentors and peers, and continue strengthening my path toward becoming a physician.
