Vicktoria Terian
Advisor

Her keen interest with glasses as a kid pushed her to create glasses out of paper mache and even went as far as to falsify her visual acuity in order to receive glasses. Throughout the years, the more she learned about Optometry the stronger her will to pursue the career became. When she transferred to USC she was disappointed to learn that a Pre-Optometry organization was not available for her to be a member of. Trying to start a club on her own with the help of Chris and Maneh, she crossed paths with Melinda and together they launched Trojan iCare. She currently shadows with Optometrists and volunteers at various health clinics providing free vision screenings to others in the community. In her spare time she likes to dance and sing in hopes of one day being discovered and becoming the next Britney Spears.
