Hi, I'm Natalia! I'm an MD candidate at Chicago Medical School and a dermatology researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine focused on skin and nail conditions. Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer and as someone training to become a dermatologist, this cause is very personal to me.

I've seen how early detection saves lives and how much further we still have to go. That's why I'm walking with the Miles for Melanoma 5K in Chicago this year. Every step I take is for the patients who fight this disease, the researchers working tirelessly toward better treatments, and the communities that deserve equitable access to skin cancer screening and care!

If you believe in that mission too, please consider donating to my page- every dollar goes directly toward the Melanoma Research Foundation's work! Thank you so much for your support
