believe my passion allowed me to learn how
to successfully balance that.

Each year, the APMA Educational Foundation
awards scholarships to exceptional third- and
fourth-year podiatric medical school students. In
this issue, we sat down with APMA Auxiliary/
Antoinette Alfidi Memorial scholarship recipient
Sriya Babu of Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine, Class of 2020. Babu served as
an intern at APMA headquarters in 2015-16
before beginning her podiatric medical education. She received her undergraduate degree
from the University of Pittsburgh with a major
in biological sciences and a minor in chemistry
and dance.

APMA News: What are some of your hobbies or
interests?
Babu: I am a classically trained dancer, and I
enjoy art. Recently I have gotten into writing
reviews on Yelp and now have Elite status on
Yelp. It gives me a reason to take breaks during school, try new food, and explore Miami.

APMA News: What's the hardest part about
being a student, and what's the best?
Babu: The hardest part of being a student is

as it is, I learned that it is important to stay
true to yourself and only work to meet your
own expectations and work to be your best.
The best part of being a student is that we get
the opportunity to learn from our mistakes.
