Hi everyone! My name is Simrahn Bidaye and I'm a sophomore Health Professions major on the pre-med track. I am from South Brunswick, New Jersey and I attended South Brunswick High School. Temple was the school for me because of its location in the city and all the wonderful opportunities it offers. Being on a pre-med track, there are a lot of ways to get involved with hospitals and other public health projects in the city. Outside of HATT, I am on an all-female Indian Bollywood Fusion Dance Team called Temple Agni. I am also a part of a pre-professional fraternity, Phi Delta Epsilon. Rushing for this fraternity has allowed me to meet incredible people, gain volunteer experience, and other pre-medical related skills. Additionally, I am a certified EMT in the state of New Jersey. I also work as a Medical Assistant at a private practice and do public health research in the Risk Communication Laboratory at Temple.. In December 2024, I went on a public health trip with Public Health Beyond Borders to Mumbai, India! It is a great opportunity and I encourage everyone to go on a trip like that, so feel free to reach out with any questions. Apart from academics, I love to hang out with my friends and explore different parts of Center City, especially all the amazing food! If you have any questions about anything I talked about please reach out! You can reach me through text, email, or even social media @simrahnbidaye. I am looking forward to meeting all the future prospects!
