Laura Samander

Laura is a fourth year medical student at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. She was introduced to lifting weights after a leg surgery that made her unable to run anymore. Laura quickly fell in love with it. Working out has been one of the most powerful, positive aspects in her life that has greatly improved her mental health. Without mental health, physical health doesn’t mean much. She also has a passion for working with the underserved communities and is a huge mental health advocate.
