After graduating from the Mercy Ships Academy, Zodi headed off to college, pursuing a degree that was greatly influenced by her childhood aboard a hospital ship.  

In this episode Zodi tells us how seeing poverty daily impacted her, how shadowing an OBGYN in Madagascar changed her future, and why going to Africa felt like going home. This young woman has profound insights that will challenge your thinking and inspire you to leave a lasting impact on your world.
