UCLA RADIATION ONCOLOGY JOURNAL
I received a lot of encouragement from my
family as well as my mentors in high school.
Financial aid, Pell grants, and the like helped
too. I also think that Occidental College was
a game-changer for me. There were so many
opportunities there to develop a lot of the
parallel interests I had in science, medicine, and
equity. I’m exceptionally grateful for all of the
opportunities I have been afforded and by all of
the mentors and advisors that have invested in
me and helped me along the path to pursuing my
dream of becoming a physician. And I couldn’t
be more excited to be starting off my academic
career at a place like UCLA.
Is it true that you bike to work each day?
L: Yes, the rumors are true. Since day one of
residency. Four years and counting! ☐
