Hey y’all, Welcome to MEDS! I am Ritu Channagiri, a senior from Cupertino, California.  My favorite experience in MEDS has been serving Waco through our many service opportunities including Mosaic, a care center for adults with disabilities, and Blue Bonnet Hospice.  Outside of MEDS you can find me serving on the Supplemental Instruction team and involved in undergraduate researcher at Baylor, through the SEA-PHAGES program as well as 3V90 projects.

Hey team! I am a third-year biology major from Pflugerville, Texas. Over the summer I got the opportunity to shadow clinical cardiologists and even got to sit in for several surgeries. In addition to school, I work part-time! I also just recently joined SEE (Students for Environmental Equity) as conserving the planet as much as we can for future generations is of upmost importance to me. My hobbies consist of swimming as much as possible, running around campus, and playing video games. I've been a part of MEDS since my first semester and have steadily increased my knowledge and enthusiasm towards learning about medical ethics. I'm very passionate about encouraging others to step outside their comfort zone and try new things, so don't hesitate to ask me any questions regarding anything above you may have an interest in!
