I live for passion as a healthcare technology enthusiast; I am exploring disruptive technology, socially innovative designs for better serving humanity. In the past, I have organized numerous breast cancer awareness campaigns as well as worked at local hospitals and raised money for the medical aid of the less fortunate in India. I have worked with cross functional teams and brought the best out of each team-mate.
I am a Senior BSE candidate in Bioengineering at the University of Pittsburgh. I am recognized for my transformative and out-of-box thinking, collaborative and nurturing personality, attention to detail, and leadership skills. I am heavily relationship-driven and bring collaborations between diverse teams to find innovative solutions.
I have worked at Bayer Pharmaceutical as a system engineer as well as at Johns Hopkins University, these places have helped me gain professional work experience, I am currently taking Project Management and Lean Six Sigma classes at the University of Pittsburgh.
As a bioengineer, I wish to provide care for those who have less. So, with my experience in India and understanding the need due to lack of available health care, I developed a design for a point of care complete blood count device, which I took forward to the Randall Family Big Idea Competition at the University of Pittsburgh. I was leading one of the few undergraduate teams that had made it to the final round, my team made it to the second position, awarded cash price of $15000. The journey and widened my view, enhanced my presentation skills as well as helped me reach the untapped business acumen within me, which I intend to explore while I am at your company.
“I had the opportunity to have Shivani work on a relatively complex information research project related to imaging agents used for diagnostic imaging procedures. She was able to perform the research and consolidate the needed information to fill in the gaps and organize findings in a structured way. Now we have an excellent reference and useful reference for multiple programs going forward.”
“For several years Shivani has been a strong participant in my Big Idea Center programs at the University of Pittsburgh. She has learned so much about innovation and entrepreneurship and has gained valuable skills like communication, project management, research and analysis. I think the world of Shivani and would work with her again in a heartbeat.”
