Halle grew up in Minneapolis, MN and went to undergrad at St. Olaf College, a small liberal arts school about an hour south of the Twin Cities. She went to Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, WI and ultimately matched out in Philadelphia at TJUH for my urology residency. She graduated summa cum laude from St. Olaf and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. In medical school she was in AOA. She studied abroad twice in undergrad and recently went on a pediatric urology medical mission trip to Amman, Jordan.
