Jasmine Fernandez is a junior in Eliot House concentrating in Neurobiology. She is heavily involved in the initiatives of inclusion on campus --- specifically those surrounding POC, women, and first-gen identities. In December of 2013, she became the inaugural president of the First Generation Student Union. Although her term has officially come to an end, she plans to continue to advocate for more institutional support for first-gen students throughout her time here at Harvard. She also interns at the Harvard College Women's Center, where she and a fellow intern, formed a Women of Color Collective. This summer, she will be interning at São Paulo Carinhosa, where she will continue her involvement in the early childhood development initiative in São Paulo. After graduation, she hopes to complete an MD/Ph.D in either Public Health or Education in order to merge all of her very diverse interests.
