PRESS RELEASE
Ahead of Natasha Spencer is a residency at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. She will spend
the next four years as an ob/gyn, studying and learning, preparing for the day she can take her
talents to underserved communities. Behind Spencer is a rough childhood in a Tampa community where high school students were as
likely to drop out as they were to graduate. Luckily, Spencer, a 26-year-old who graduated from FSU's College of Medicine three weeks ago, has an
extremely supportive family and a network of influential friends who are as impressed with her as
she is with them. And of course, having Super Bowl XXXVII champion Derrick Brooks in your corner doesn't hurt.
