Christine Hruby ‘26

Christine Hruby is a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame majoring in ACMS with a Biology concentration. Her research interests include global health, education, technology and environment, and human development. During the summer of 2022 Christine attended Operation Smile's International Student Leadership Conference. Because of this experience, she began to want to research and understand more about health disparities and equity between developed and developing countries. She currently is a Research Assistant in Professor Susan Blum's School Stories Lab, an Anthropology research lab that aims to compile firsthand school accounts so that policymakers can improve the education system worldwide. She conducts interviews and analyzes data to find trends between the compiled data. As part of the Kellogg Developing Researchers Program, she hopes to improve and apply her data analysis and coding skills learned within the classroom.
