Lea Saliba
Westchester, NY
Lea Saliba attended Binghamton University and graduated with a degree in neuroscience. “I loved learning about why people are the way they are and what makes us who we are,” said Saliba who grew up in Westchester.
Saliba said she was inspired by her mother, a nurse, to enter the health profession. “The idea of being in a profession that helps people really crystallized for me in high school,” she explained. She said she chose TouroCOM because of how inclusive the campus felt and the school’s mission of serving the underserved. As for the white coat ceremony, Saliba said “I’ve been waiting for this moment since high school.”
Fun Fact: Saliba was born in France and lived there until she was four. (She really enjoyed the results of the World Cup.)
