Dr. Acosta is a native Texan, born in San Antonio. Her interest in optometry began while in high school, at which time she participated in a health occupations vocational program for students who want to explore health professions. While participating in this program, Dr. Acosta began working for a local optometrist in San Antonio and continued working for the practice after graduation from high school and through her undergraduate years. Upon graduating from high school, Dr. Acosta received an academic scholarship to attend Incarnate Word College in San Antonio (now known as University of the Incarnate Word), where she received Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Chemistry.

She traveled to Wurzburg, Germany, where she completed a four-month externship working in a hospital setting on an American army base. While stationed at the base, she was able to tour Austria, France, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Spain, and The Netherlands. During completion of this residency, Dr. Acosta was accepted in the residency program at the prestigious Baltimore VA Hospital, where she pursued her interest in ocular disease.
