Bio

Hi! My name is Destiny Pond. I am in my third year of college pursuing a neuroscience major and art minor. I have strived to learn more and foster my creative endeavors all my life! In college I was honored by Hartford Girls Rock for my achievement in leadership and lead various clubs on campus such as MHACASA (Mount Holyoke's African and Caribbean Student Association), Dreamscape Diaries, and SGA SOCC (Student Government Association's Students of Color Committee. In my life, I aim to inspire change through art and science (for example, art therapy for students in underprivileged communities). We can't build a future without fixing the foundation of our past and I'd like to help children articulate their trauma effectively and simply.
