Faria was born in Karachi, Pakistan and moved to San Antonio, Texas at age 10. She attended the University of Texas of Austin, earning a Bachelor of Science and Arts in Biology with a minor in the Business of Healthcare. Faria found her interest in animal model research in her undergraduate studies, studying the gut microbiome of bees and wasps in Austin and moving on to study the vasculature of a slightly larger animal model in medical school-- the giraffe. In her free time, you can find Faria hiking, listening to Taylor Swift, watching Friends for the 50th time, attempting to keep her plants alive, and traveling with her fiancé! She is beyond excited to join the Vanderbilt family!
