Hi! My name is Nivriti and I'm a junior majoring in Genetics and Plant Biology with a double minor in Data Science and Food Systems. I'm so excited to be a PAL this year and I'm so excited to meet plenty of amazing CNR students this year! Like many others in this college, I love being in nature (shocker!) and will geek out about everything from native amphibian species to mycorrhizal fungi. I'm particularly interested in genomics and plant-microbe interactions and hope to work towards a more sustainable future by exploring applications of biotechnology and genomics in agriculture and the food industry. I've been involved in research through URAP since my freshman year and recently interned at an Ag-Tech company so I'm always happy to answer questions about on and off-campus opportunities. In my free time, I love watching Studio Ghibli movies, jamming out on the bass guitar, and exploring local trails. If you ever have any questions about the GPB major, fun ESPM classes, or want to see pictures of my dog, don't hesitate to reach out!
