Victoria Wolodzko Smart: Honored to join a podcast with Gevorg Tamamyan to discuss several topics close to my heart

Victoria Wolodzko Smart shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Recently, I was honored to join a podcast with the amazing Gevorg Tamamyan at OncoDaily to discuss several topics close to my heart, including women supporting women in leadership and how my current work helps to ensure that breast cancer patients can access life-saving treatments without the financial burden.

During our discussion, I also shared a look back into my own career journey (25 years went by very, very fast!) and how my experiences have supercharged my passion for global health equity, particularly in the fight against breast cancer at Susan G. Komen. It was the best decision of my (young) life to abandon my law school aspirations and choose a career where I have the honor and privilege to work alongside incredible and inspiring women and men in this mission to help others survive and thrive

My hope is this conversation serves as a call to action to everyone who wants to contribute to making a difference in this world. You’ll hear us explore the significant role that advocacy and policy play in removing financial barriers and prioritizing patient health.

Tune in below, and hear more about how we can make a greater, collective difference together.”
