From UGA to the Bay: Ganeshan sisters find connection through leadership

Like many siblings, Smitha and Shreya Ganeshan have plenty in common.

Each sister studied at the University of Georgia as a Foundation Fellow, led tours through UGA’s Visitors Center, and took a keen interest in technology.

Still, the Ganeshans, who grew up in Johns Creek, took different paths when it came to their careers. One chose medicine; the other dove into the tech industry.

Dr. Smitha Ganeshan (BS Biology '14) is an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and the medical director for clinical AI programs at the UCSF Medical Center.

Her younger sister, Shreya (BS Statistics, BA Economics '18) served as a data scientist working on Google Photos and Google One teams, where she used data analysis to improve user experience.

Today, they both work in the greater Bay Area and live about 10 minutes apart in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco. Read more about the Ganeshans and their accolades here.
