“I started out as a health and society major, and I always have to tell my mom to stop telling people I’m going to be a doctor. She says, ‘Well, you’re going to Rochester and it’s got a good medical school—why don’t you want to be a doctor?’ So I had to explain to my mother that public health is different. And she said, ‘Well, you’re going to be a lawyer, then.’ If your parents didn’t go to college, they have these ideal jobs in their heads: doctor, lawyer, teacher, nurse. . . .”
