What's up fam? My name is Melody (she/her), but Mel or Mez are cool too, and I’m a twenty-something Latina from Spanish Harlem, NYC. I'm also a big sister, a hustling millennial, a first-generation college graduate, a wellness enthusiast, and a fourth-year medical student applying for general surgery residency.
Things I like: early mornings, used books, handmade mugs, plant-based tacos.
Things I love: dancing alone, dancing with friends, the occasional thunderstorm.
Things I believe: positivity is powerful; wellness is for everyone; happiness is now.
Mez On The Move is about reminding you that you are capable. For living well. For making time. For setting goals. For bouncing back. For promoting equity in medicine, but also in life.
If you appreciate good music, want to hustle and be well, and are looking for someone to cheer you on, you’re in the right place.
If you’re an aspiring doctor looking for a med student you can relate to, you’re in the right place. You can find my medical school content here.
But if you never come back to this corner of the World Wide Web, all I want you to know is this: you can “live well” and build the life you’ve always imagined. You can make time, make moves, and get a good night’s sleep (usually). You can dedicate your life to helping others and take care of yourself. You are capable of reaching beyond your present circumstances; these do not define your future. You are not alone in your experiences, even though it can feel that way.
I hope this space inspires and empowers you to stay on the move (in "fitness" and in life) no matter your starting point.
If you read this far, I appreciate you. Thank you for making time to read what I write. It means the world to me. If you’re curious about anything else, check out my FAQ page. If you ever need me, I’ll be here.
All love always,
Mez
