Terra was born and raised in Northern California, until she moved to Durham, NC in high school. She fell in love with the Tarheels as a teenager, and ultimately completed her undergraduate education at UNC Chapel Hill, with a B.S. in Biology and minors in Spanish and Chemistry. After graduating she moved to Colombia for a year to teach English, while also improving her fluency in Spanish. She then returned to Chapel Hill to continue her education at UNC School of Medicine. Her professional interests include critical care, hospital medicine, and medical education. Outside of the hospital she spends her time outdoors in any way she can - running, hiking, playing pickleball almost obsessively - and of course spending as much time with family and friends as they can tolerate. She is thrilled to be the new inpatient chief at the VA, and cannot wait to continue to work with residents to help make the program and the VA they best they can be!
