Alma Hernandez: I graduated from Berkeley in 2020 and now I am working as a Clinical Research Coordinator for the Medical Culture Labs at UCSF’s IHPS, working on dementia related projects and other Social Science studies. I grew up in Santa Ana, CA, in Orange County. I have always been interested in medicine but during college I discovered many different interests including public health, social science, and environmental studies. I also liked volunteering in the community and was able to learn about research by being involved in the Madsen group and doing a research project on Redwood Trees. I hope to go into medicine, public health, or obtain an MD-PhD. I hope to explore some of my interests such as environmental health and other related fields through this internship opportunity with SF Bay PSR.

 

Jasmine Campos: I was born and raised in Southern California. I am a rising fourth-year at UC Berkeley studying Public Health and Integrative Biology with an emphasis on Human Biology. I am pursuing a career as a pediatrician because of my passion for helping others and love for working with children. My commitment to helping others is demonstrated through my work as a Chemistry tutor at the Student Learning Center, working as a Health Advocate at San Francisco General Hospital, and volunteering as a swab coach for COVID-19 testing with University Health Services. In addition to being a pediatrician, I plan on working with community organizations to advocate for underrepresented communities, especially those affected by environmental racism like my hometown. I am interested in working with PSR because of their commitment to social justice and the environment. As an aspiring physician, it’s important to be knowledgeable about these issues since they have a large impact on health. I appreciate how the organization really centers communities affected and gives them the support to advocate for themselves.
