Hi! My name is Isha and I am a rising junior in the College of Arts & Sciences majoring in Biology of Global Health. While I grew up in the suburbs of NYC for most of my life, I lived in Singapore for 4 of those years. This summer, I will be researching failed single-stranded annealing events in drosophila under the guidance of Dr. Jan LaRocque.
I am a Human Science major at Georgetown University and I am fascinated by the neurological components underlying behavior. I currently work in the Lab on Social and Affective Neuroscience at Georgetown and intern at Arlington Free Clinic and So Others Might Eat Medical Clinic. These roles all give me a different perspective on the Mind-Body Connection.
