Feba George

Aspiring physician with a strong foundation in molecular biology, cognitive science, and community service. Seeking to deepen my understanding of neuroscience and continue gaining hands-on experience in a working lab. Beyond academics, I am passionate about making knowledge accessible (whether co-founding SAGA to support South Asian teens’ mental health, mentoring peers in French and English, or leading STEM programs that spark confidence in coding.) I balance my scientific focus with music as a member of my school's ensemble Vocal Jazz and NYSSMA affiliated events. My goal is to merge research, medicine, and advocacy to create meaningful impact in communities.

Documented cultural and environmental travel experiences in Mexico, India (Kerala & Bangalore), Hawaii, Dubai, Bahamas, and Canada through reflective writing and photography projects shared in school projects. In addition to my academics at Edgemont, I am passionate about making knowledge accessible to others. I co-founded a mental health initiative for South Asian teens (SAGA), where we address cultural stigma through social media and workshops. I am also trilingual (English, French, Malayalam), which has shaped my role as a mentor for peers and immigrant students. My ultimate goal is to pursue a BS/MD pathway and use medicine not only to heal but also to empower communities.
