Ariana Lecaj

Modern Day Refugee: Contemporary Albanian American Woman Helping Through Medical Education.

Ariana Lecaj had it all—a loving family, an affluent upbringing in the city of Prishtina, and
dreams of a successful career—until war erupted in 1998. At the age of 16, all she had left was what
little she could carry and uncertainty of where life would take her when she and her 17-year-old
brother escaped Kosova.
