Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine Representative – Desiree Gonzalez

Hometown: Los Angeles, California

Best thing about Utah? I like being able to experience the various seasons and getting to see the mountains change in color and levels of snow.

Favorite way to de-stress: I like trying new foods and restaurants with my family and friends!

Fun fact about you: I enjoy singing, dancing, and baking.

Why family medicine? Family medicine allows me to build ongoing connections with patients. I also enjoy seeing how family medicine provides the opportunity to see patients of all ages, with various medical severities and conditions. In the long-term, I also believe that family medicine would allow me to have a stable work-life balance.
