June Student of the Month: Karishma Srinivas
Hi, my name is Karishma Srinivas and I’m a fourth-year GDB student. Currently, I work in the Kliebenstein lab studying the interactions between the necrotrophic pathogen, Botrytis, and various plant species. Post graduation, I plan to take a gap year and work as an EMT before applying to medical school! The GDB major has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of diseases and helped me feel more prepared for my career post-graduation! One of my favorite classes is GDB 101 which helped me realize my passion for epidemiology through the various disease simulations we created. I believe this class will help me in the future because it taught me integral skills for the healthcare field
