In this week’s episode, we are talking with VIS League Mentor, professional runner for Nike and Stanford alumna, Vanessa Fraser. Vanessa graduated from Stanford in 2018 as a 10-time All American and school record holder in the 5000m. Today, Vanessa speaks about why she chose Stanford, how she recovered from her double Achilles surgery, and how she pursues her audaciously big goals, with small, bite-sized steps!

 “Never let anyone tell you that your dreams are too big, or that you are too audacious and bold in the pursuit of those dreams”. - Vanessa Fraser
