PNWU Alumni Profile: Erika La Vella

As the first person in her family to enter into the medical field, and as a member of PNWU’s inaugural class, Dr. Erika La Vella was unsure of the direction her career would take. Her heart said “surgery,” but seemingly everyone around her discouraged that dream.

“You’ll be a horrible mother,” they warned, “a terrible wife; you’ll ruin your family.”

Learn how ignoring the noise and trusting her inner-self led Dr. La Vella to discover an outlet for her greatest medical passions as a surgeon in Corvallis, Oregon.
