Abby Siegel ’23: Grit, Gratitude, and Getting into Med School!

From Miami roots to navigating snow boots and shutdowns, Abby Siegel (’23) shares her story of flexibility, friendship, and finding her stride at Cornell—despite a freshman year no one could have predicted. In this episode, Abby takes us through her transition from sunny South Florida to icy Ithaca, the sudden arrival of COVID during her first spring, and how she found meaning, connection, and unexpected joy in the years that followed. She’s thoughtful, funny, and on her way to medical school after winning a top award from Cornell Human Ecology. Plus, we put her future MD skills to the test in a game about beloved 1970s medicines.Find Abby on LinkedIn: Abby SiegelNot sponsored by or affiliated with Cornell University
