Manisha is currently a pre-medical student at the University of Houston and is earning a bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Psychology. She hopes to
specialize in neurology and is passionate about advocating for the integration of arts and culture in medicine.

Type II Diabetes Remission. She also is part of the Research and Writing team in AMSA’s Wellness and Student Life Action Committee. She also participated in
AMSA’s Emoji Campaign and is currently one of AMSA’s Social Media Coordinators. In her free time, she likes to read, travel, and play volleyball.
