Hi everyone! My name is Laasya (she/her) and I am a freshman CLA Neuroscience major with minors in Healthcare Management and Clinical and Health Psychology on the pre-med track. I am from Northern Virginia, about an hour away from Washington DC, and I was drawn to Temple for its urban campus and extensive opportunities. The support from the tight-knit Honors community has made me feel truly comfortable at Temple. In addition to being a HATT, I am involved in Grey Matters (a neuroscience journal), Alpha Epsilon Delta (a pre-health honors society), Students Helping Students, CLA Ambassadors, and the American Medical Student Association. I am also doing research at the Neurochemistry and Cognition Lab under Dr. Parikh. In my free time I love reading, exploring Philly, and hanging out with my friends. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or simply want to talk!
