From classroom to community: Puja Punukollu's multifaceted journey
"I want to be an excellent physician but also someone who can lead, advocate, and shape systems that impact communities," says Puja Punukollu.

Whether working on academic, extracurricular, or professional projects, I apply proven organizational, teamwork, and service skills. College provided me with project opportunities that have advanced not only my programming but also my teamwork skills. Throughout college I had the opportunity to prototype, create and showcase my work. Learning the skills needed to create and accomplish goals I set for myself. Now that I have been in the workplace I have gained experience and skills that college did not provide.
