SHADOW PROGRAM COORDINATOR
Gabriella is a final year medical student at King’s College London, obtaining degrees from both University College London (BSc Biomedical Sciences) and the University of Oxford (MSc Surgical Sciences) prior to starting medical school. She is also a keen swimmer, and completed an English Channel swimming crossing for charity in 2017. Alongside her medical studies, she is the founder of a vaccination startup that focuses on delivering digital solutions for disease prevention to patients in the U.K.
