SANJNA HEGDE
Undergraduate Researcher

I am an undergraduate student at UCD pursuing a B.S. in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior on the pre-med track. I joined Tripp Lab because I am passionate about creating more inclusive and equitable science education where POC and women have the same opportunities as everyone else to succeed in STEM-related fields. 

 

I am currently involved in the HOPE Coalition which is a statewide social justice organization aiming to create healthy online platforms for youth. I am currently developing a podcast with mental health professionals to spread awareness about the negative aspects of social media and the relationship between social media and substance abuse. 

 

I am passionate about social justice and at the Tripp Lab I hope to expand my knowledge about social justice in science. Outside of school, I love to hike, travel, and bake!
