Bio

Hola! Greetings! Hello! I'm Yazmin, a Colombian and Puerto Rican student from the Bronx, NY. I'm currently starting my journey at Cornell University as a Government major at Cornell University (with a growing interest in CS and English). I've dedicated the past few years to educating Latino and underrepresented youth in the Bronx community through tutoring, teaching, and original research. All issues pertaining to education are integral to my mission-- to ensure that all students receive an intellectually enriching, affordable, and accessible education. How do we get there? Law. I'm a firm believer in advocating and participating in change, and the best way to equalize and ensure students of color are legally entitled to equitable education is through law. In this way, I would like to give back to my community by pursuing law school and eventually becoming an attorney.
