Biography

Hi friends! My name is Melissa, and I am a Junior living in Mather House, concentrating in Psychology with a secondary in Ethnicity, Migration, Rights. I was born and raised in Queens, NYC, but I also have the pleasure of calling Mexico and Guatemala home! I’m passionate about building and giving back to my community, therefore, dedicating a lot of my time to serving as a mentor, educator, and volunteer inside and outside of Harvard. On campus, I’ve enjoyed being a part of so many wonderful communities, including The Phillips Brooks House Association, Latinas Unidas, and Concilio Latino. Please reach out if you have any questions! I’m happy to chat, whether it’s about navigating student resources, college life as a first-generation student, the college application process, or anything else!
