- More About Me:
Hi everyone! My name is Shikha Agarwal and I’m a senior majoring in Economics and minoring in Biological Sciences in the School of Arts and Sciences Honors Program on a pre-medicine track. I work as a part-time medical assistant at an endocrinology practice and serve as the Co-President for the largest pre-med organization on campus, AMSA. I am also a staff writer for the Rutgers Economics Society Newsletter. Additionally, I conduct research at RWJUH on neurotoxic agents and their effects on mitochondrial output. In my free time, I enjoy trying new coffee places, watching first-responder tv shows, and rooting for my team, FC Barcelona. As an HPO ambassador, I’m happy to answer questions about MCAT, cold-emailing for research, applying for jobs outside of hospitals, Phi Delta Epsilon, and nontraditional majors. Looking forward to speaking with everyone!
