Neuroscience - University of California Santa Cruz

Hi! I’m Amani Khanna, a Neuroscience major at UC Santa Cruz with a focus on pre-med. I’m passionate about healthcare equity, mentorship, and creating inclusive spaces where students feel empowered to grow, academically and personally. Over the past few years, I’ve worked as a tutor, swim coach, and dance teacher, which has taught me the power of patience, clear communication, and building confidence in others. I’ve also been involved in student-led health initiatives, organized community projects, and supported student programming through leadership roles on campus. Whether I’m breaking down science concepts or helping someone map out their next steps, I always try to bring empathy, curiosity, and care to every conversation. If you're looking for guidance navigating pre-health at Santa Cruz, finding balance in college, or just want a mentor who listens and understands, I’m really glad you’re here. Let’s connect!
