From Shelton to Surgery
Samantha Bongiorno earned a B.A.
in Philosophy and Global Health from
Macalester College and an M.D. from
St. George’s University. She is now a
general surgery resident in upstate
New York and plans to pursue a trauma
fellowship to become a double boardcertified general and trauma/critical
care surgeon.
Bongiorno says she is most proud of finishing medical
school, a milestone on her path to becoming a surgeon.
“I think the biggest thing Shelton taught me was how to be
an advocate for myself in education and in life.”
Aidan Eefting (Class of 2016):
First-Generation College Grad and Lawyer
Aidan Eefting earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice
from the University of North Texas and a Juris Doctor from

aspirations of working as a prosecutor or defense attorney
for the State of Texas before eventually
establishing his own practice or joining

“What inspires me most about my work
is the opportunity to serve as a voice
for clients, advocating for their rights
and needs.”
