Gabby Thomas’ new internship after Tokyo Olympics 2020

Gabby is currently pursuing her master’s degree in public health at the University of Texas. She will complete her degree during the summer and then move on to intern with the biomedical research company, Leidos. Gabby Thomas eagerly wants to pursue a career in healthcare.

“I’m excited to join a team of innovative leaders in the healthcare field. I’m confident this internship will be a great opportunity for me to continue learning how I can make a difference in this space and improve public health at a national and global level,” Thomas said.

Gabby started her master’s course during the pandemic break. The company also states that Gabby wants to make a career in the healthcare business once her track career ends. Thomas majored in neurobiology from Harvard and will be joining the Leidos research team that specializes in epidemiology.

However, with her promising career in healthcare, it doesn’t mean that Gabby is not serious about her sprint career.

Thomas is the second-fastest female sprinter in 200m history with a timing of 21.61 seconds at the recent Olympic trials.
