Originally from Narragansett, Rhode Island, Victoria Gallogly was intrigued by Drexel University due to its urban setting. “I’m from a small New England beach town and was looking to expand my worldview and experience city living,” she said. “Dornsife and Philadelphia in general had a very welcoming energy when I toured the university, which ultimately persuaded me to commit to Drexel University.”
During her freshmen year, Gallogly became interested in studying public health due to its focus on population health. “While the work of physicians is vital and important [especially during the pandemic], their work is largely focused on one individual at a time,” she said. “I want my career to be focused on improving people’s health and well-being at a broader societal level.”
