SAVIR Student Spotlight: Anna Njie, Undergraduate Research Assistant

Anna Njie, Undergraduate Research Assistant, Vanderbilt University- Department of Medicine, Health, and Society

What are your injury and violence prevention research interests?

I am interested in gun violence prevention research.

What is something you enjoy about participating in a SAVIR committee as a student?

I am new to being a SAVIR member, so my participation in the SECP committee has been limited, especially during the holiday season. However, I am excited to listen and learn from other students and early-career professionals as I work towards post-baccalaureate plans of continuing education.

What motivates you every day?

I am motivated by an appreciation of the sciences and excitement to learn all that I do not know. Coupled with personal experiences with violence in my community, I am always eager to participate in the world of violence and injury prevention research.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I love to read, dance, and spend time with loved ones.
