My name is Carolina Zeballos, I am currently pursuing a major in biology. Medicine has always been a passion of mine since a small age; therefore, when I came across choosing a theme for a website, undoubtedly I had to choose a topic regarding cardiology. I have plans to go into the surgical field in the future and gathering information about one of the most captivating parts of the human being seemed like a good method to understand if this was a field suited for me. Presently, I am a volunteer at the INOVA Hospital where I assist and transferred patients between medical units often starting from the cardiovascular center. Furthermore, I work along child-life specialists in the Cardiovascular and Intensive Care unit within pediatrics. Along this I was able to observe a heart surgery in this same institution which sparked my interest in learning the history of heart surgery to see how methods have changed and advanced throughout time.
