Getting to Know Anjali by Anjali Patel

TRIP Initiative ​is a great way for me to get involved in research and challenge myself before college...I will be to meet new people, work under professionals, and learn more about their work.

​Hello, my name is Anjali Patel and I am a senior at William Tennent High School. I have lived in Warminster my entire life, so I plan to move out and live somewhere else after high school. I am very passionate about traveling. My goal is to travel to all fifty states and seven continents, so I'm slowly working towards my goal. Some of my favorite places I have visited are Italy, France, and Switzerland and I would love to visit them again someday. I really enjoy playing the violin, creating and editing short films, playing lacrosse, and creating ceramics pieces. I recently finished my college application process as an intended major in biomedical engineering, and I have decided that I will be attending the University of Pittsburgh this fall.

I decided to participate in the TRIP Initiative because I want to pursue research in the future, so this is a great way for me to get involved in research and challenge myself before college. I will also be able to meet new people,  work under professionals, and learn more about their work. ​These past two weeks at the program have been incredible. I have learned so much about my peers and my instructors. In the future, I am excited to see which path I choose for my independent project.
