About the creator: Sandra Coker

Hi,
my name is Sandra Coker, and I am currently a second year medical student at McGovern Medical School (formerly known as UT Houston) in Houston, Texas. I graduated from the wonderful Baylor University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Following graduation, I worked as a scribe, lost 23 pounds, and traveled the world before beginning medical school in August of 2016. Born and raised in the city of Houston, I am all about southern comfort, sports, good eats, and sweet iced tea. I am the daughter of Hilda Coker, a respiratory therapist, and Shawley Coker Sr., an entrepreneur. I am also the sister of Shawley Coker Jr. who may be known to you all as Shawley Coker Fitness on YouTube and Instagram. As you will probably be able to see through my YouTube videos and Instagram posts, I have a love for Christ, a passion for fitness and all things medicine, and a genuine desire to help others pursue their dreams in the healthcare field.
