For Dr. Lucie Brining, “life is learning.” Dr. Brining received her undergraduate degree from UC Berkeley, where she played on the nationally recognized women’s soccer team. She completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at USC and then joined UCLA Health in Manhattan Beach. Throughout Lucie's life and career she welcomes opportunities to learn and have new experiences. She lived abroad in Italy and Spain, studied Latin, Italian, and Spanish, and purposely decided to take a few years before attending medical school to learn about different areas of medicine and pursue an area of focus that she would enjoy. She takes the time to try new things and methodically figures out what she really wants to do. She encourages us to embrace new opportunities and to remember “you don't know what your potential is until you actually try to do it.”
