Year in Program: 4
What drove me to pursue the program was the smaller class sizes along with the ability to form professional relationships with some of the leading minds in pathology. Also, the program material being interesting and hands-on was a plus for me!
I am looking forward to my directed studies class in which I will be working on finding a better method for screening inherited metabolic diseases. I am also looking forward to applying to some graduate programs this fall for next year!
I love learning new skills and the lockdown has given me plenty of time for that, such as learning the bansuri, a wooden flute used in Indian Classical music. I also have a daily yoga and meditation practice that I follow, which has positively impacted both my mental and physical wellness. Apart from that, I make sure I maintain daily communication with my friends and family via video calls.
Online gaming, at-home calisthenics exercise, playing the bansuri and watching the anime show Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer)!
