Kamakshi is as delightful as she is hardworking. Having worked with Kamakshi as her Pre-Medicine advisor at UIC for four years I was constantly impressed with her consistency, academic strength, and willingness to take initiative. She does not allow setbacks to deter from goals, instead using them to learn more about herself and move forward to continued achievement. She has shown herself to be goal-driven and passionate about anything she sets her mind to. I highly recommend Kamakshi for any role that requires strong communication skills, analytical thinking, and problem solving.

I have been Kamakshi's neuroscience academic advisor at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) for 3 years and it has been an absolutely pleasure to get to know her. Kamakshi is an extremely bright and talented student who has always sought out opportunities to grow personally, academically, and professionally. Being able to witness the growth Kamakshi has experienced at UIC through her dedication to her studies and to her extracurricular activities has been impactful. The neuroscience curriculum is rigorous and Kamakshi has always challenged herself by taking on more than the required workload each semester. She's also been able to get involved in research at Northwestern University's College of Medicine, which shows her academic abilities to think critically, analyze, and contribute to the scientific community. Kamakshi has sought out numerous leadership opportunities and is a valued leader on UIC's campus. Kamakshi will contribute immensely to the field of medicine and healthcare in any position she is in. Her work ethic, academic achievements and ability, passion to help others, and adaptability make it easy to recommend her to any position. Kamakshi has been a delightful student with a more than promising future.
