Jessica Pasqua

Jessica Pasqua, MD, completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical-Biology at the University of California, Berkeley. There she was part of an advocacy and support group for former foster youth which inspired her to pursue a career in medicine with a focus on serving those with limited access to medical care due to poverty and social inequity. She then completed her Medical Degree (MD), her Adult Neurology residency, and her Epilepsy fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her passions and research interests include understanding the relationship between epilepsy and disorders of cognition, especially when these disorders affect socio-economically vulnerable individuals and access to neurological care to underserved populations at both a local and global scale.
