On this episode of GC Ready, I chat with Nivi Ahlawat who recently graduated from the Masters in Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling Program at Stanford University, and currently works as an Associate Product Scientist at AllStripes.

She also gives advice on how students can make informed decisions about match rankings, and their roles after graduating as genetic counselors.
