Samhitha (she/her) is a Temple 2024 graduate who majored in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience and minored in Computer Science. She spent her time at Temple as a teacher's assistant for the Mathematical Concepts in Computing I course, a volunteer at the Pennsylvania Hospital in South Philly, and a reviewer for the Grey Matter's neuroscience journal. She is currently pursuing her Translational Neuroscience master's degree in the UK as a Fulbright scholar.
Samhitha is hoping to go to medical school and become a doctor, ideally focusing on a neuroscience-related subject.
My first encounter with the career center was for my committee interview during my junior year. It was then I saw the advice and expertise provided that were not only applicable to other interviews, writing, and experiences I would have, but also tailored to focus on my strengths/weaknesses. I have since gone to the Career Center every time I needed to write a personal piece, as this is something I struggle with and have improved on primarily due to the Career Center. I used their review appointments during my application to the Fulbright, and can confidently say my personal statement would not have been the same without their help.
Take advantage of the variety of people and resources at the Career Center. Don't be afraid to ask for help, especially from people that would be supportive and helpful in the process (i.e. professors, advisors, class friends). Whether you are struggling with a career decision, how to apply to an opportunity, or just with writing, it is okay to not go through it alone and seek fresh sets of eyes to help you navigate and improve your work.
