Overview
Dr. Claudia Hong graduated summa cum laude from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where she double majored in biology and communication. After college, she worked at the Make-A-Wish Foundation in San Francisco; she helped grant the wishes of children who have life- threatening illnesses, and it was through this experience that she realized she wanted to spend the rest of her life helping children and their families.
