Teresia Perkins (CAMED’28) is from Kenya, from one of the poor neighborhoods on the outskirts of Nairobi. “It was very tough,” Perkins said. But she was good at academics. “School was the place where I was free; I could be me.” She came to the United States on a scholarship to attend Arizona State University as a business major. For a decade following graduation, she remained in the United States, working in finance. But she had nurtured a dream of a career in healthcare that harkened back to the time her brother was dying of complications from malaria because they didn’t have access to a hospital. As she learned about healthcare inequities in this country, she decided to leave finance and enter medical school.
