Born and raised in southeastern Pennsylvania, Victoria graduated from Temple University's Honors Program with a Bachelor of Science in Biology- but her studies outside of the premed grind were hardly "hard science", focusing on the cultures of ancient civilizations, religion, and language. She trained with the Interfaith Youth Core in Chicago in interfaith leadership, and continues working in the field with podcasts, research and education design, and community service. When she isn't studying for class as a second year (and inwardly panicking about the STEP 1 exam), Victoria can usually be found cooking for friends, reading for pleasure, or blogging while watching crime show reruns.
Sitting across the table from me was a woman with four children, whose hesitancy towards their foreign doctor mirrored my own. I still wonder sometimes how I ended up in that tiny cinderblock-and-corrugated-metal church in Bolivia, not even finished with my first year of medical school. At the time, I felt frantic.
