Hi! I’m Nikki Golestan, a writer for Her Campus at the University of Pittsburgh! I love writing about women’s health, gender equality, and social justice, but you’ll also find me diving into topics like lifestyle, self-care, and personal growth. I’m passionate about sharing stories that empower, educate, and spark meaningful conversations.
I’m a sophomore pre-med student with big dreams of becoming a gynecologist and advocating for better healthcare for women. Right now, I’m doing research at Magee Women’s Hospital, studying how anesthesia affects cognitive function in older women, and I work as a biology teaching assistant, helping students find confidence in science. I also volunteer at Shadyside Hospital because giving back to my community is so important to me! I’m even applying for the FLAS Fellowship to deepen my Persian studies, blending my love for language, culture, and medicine.
When I’m not in the lab or writing, you’ll probably find me crocheting a cute project, painting something colorful, baking sweet treats, or putting together a fun outfit. I’m also a proud member of Delta Phi Epsilon and Gamma Sigma Sigma, where I get to connect with amazing people and give back to causes I care about. Whether it’s through art, activism, or storytelling, I love finding ways to bring creativity, kindness, and a little bit of sparkle into everything I do! ✨
