Hi everyone! My name is Rafa, I am an Engineering Science major specializing in Biomedical Systems. I have been a part of UTEFR since January 2023, and recently served as a trainer during the 2023-2024 academic year. I have been involved in first aid since 2020, certified as an EMT-I since 2022, and with experience working on an ambulance service in Mexico City.
