Hello! My name is Sugkirthy Gowri Sridhar and I am an aspiring Neurosurgeon. I have had a passion for the field of medicine since a very young age. However, in the recent years, the field of Neurosurgery captured my attention due to my fascination of the wonderful complexities of the human brain, and my goals to research on the technology that surrounds this field. I believe that the Independent Study Mentorship program will give me valuable opportunities to gain insight about the field of neurosurgery and work with my mentor to gain more knowledge and experience.
