I am 4th year student in the field of Genetics, Genomics and Development. I am an international student from India. Before becoming Vice President for Internal Operations in GPSA, I was briefly the Student Advocacy Chair. I have been involved before with organising for Cornell Grad Students United. When not in lab thinking about butterfly wing color patterns, I am wondering how to make academia more equitable for international students and students from URM backgrounds and how to make conditions for academic workers better in terms of working conditions and opportunities.
