Piera was born in Venezuela. When she was eight years old, she and her family moved to Miami, Florida, where she was raised and attended most of her schooling. She obtained her Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences from Florida International University. From there, Piera moved to Nashville in 2018 to begin medical school at Meharry Medical College. Throughout her schooling, she has garnered a passion for not only medicine but for teaching as well. She has had several tutoring roles through undergrad and medical school. It is her goal to work in academic medicine and be a mentor to other minority students pursuing a career in medicine. Piera has truly enjoyed living in Nashville these past few years, particularly due to its welcoming residents, beautiful scenery, and park system. Other activities she enjoys are going to concerts, road trips, kayaking, spending time with friends and family, and binging on Netflix. She is happy to have more time to explore Music City and both honored and excited to begin her training at Vanderbilt!
