Iryna Bilga is originally from Belarus but moved to America after meeting her future husband on a summer vacation in New York.

She attended Hunter College for a degree in medical technology and graduated in 2014. “I always wanted to help people,” said Bilga. She worked for a few years in a laboratory before deciding to become a PA. “I loved working in a lab, but I realized I wanted to work with patients.” Bilga, the mother of two girls, said that the program’s non-traditional hours appealed to her, allowing her to both care for her daughters and pursue her future career. Another factor in her decision to attend Touro? “Touro has an amazing reputation.” Her favorite author is Fyodor Dostoyevsky and asked to choose between the author’s two main masterpieces, The Brothers Karamazov and Crime and Punishment, she went with Crime and Punishment.

Particular Taste: Bilga does not like ice cream.
