Victoria Nichols - Croatia

Victoria Nichols was in Croatia, developing an abstinence education curriculum for a camp attended by adolescents ages 13 to 18. Nichols, who was also serving as an instructor at the camp, worked with the interdenominational faith group SEND International. Working abroad gave Nichols a new perspective on how public health functions in other countries. “It’s very different here,” she said. “You have to have a medical degree before you can ‘specialize’ in the field of public health.”
