Spanish-Language Journalism
Hello! My name is Jasmine Mendez. I am a first-generation college student studying Political Science, with a minor in Spanish-Language Journalism. I am excited to be a part of this program!
My passion for progressive, sustainable change in areas like housing insecurity, stems from a once personal & community-spread issue. My goal is to help find solutions through data and bring in Latine/Latinx voices to this discussion.
Dora Feher
Psychology
Hello everybody! I am Dora Feher, and I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in psychology. I aspire to continue my studies as a graduate student pursuing the realm of clinical psychology.
During my educational journey, I had been given the opportunity to serve as a guide and mentor to both high school students as well as community college freshmen. Not only so, but I had also been able to further serve my community by embodying the role of a Blood Donor Ambassador for the American Red Cross.
I am delighted to have been selected as an intern for the HERE Center and am looking forward to contributing to my community in such a capacity.
