Katerina Kurteeva's Immigration Journey From Ukraine.

December 07, 2022 • Vero • Season 4 • Episode 122

Can you imagine the culture shock of a 16-year-old girl traveling to Canada for the first time all by herself?

Back when Katerina migrated phones weren't a thing so communication with her family back home in Ukraine was pretty much nonexistent! Katerina shares how she was able to navigate the challenges and the culture shocks while feeling the most excited about the opportunity of living abroad!

Katerina first moved to Canada and later she came to the USA for medical school. Today she is a wonderful ophthalmologist and we talked about her career, her immigration journey, and her identity!

Enjoy this conversation, it was truly special and inspirational.
