Hi, I’m Yesenia
(he/they/elle)
Welcome! I am a Latinx, first-gen, queer, nonbinary, trans, neuroscientist. I am currently a fourth year PhD student at Emory University. Through my visibility and mentorship I hope to empower and support fellow students in STEM who have been historically excluded, marginalized, and oppressed.
What is “nonbinary” ?
It’s pretty simple. Nonbinary people have genders that are not exclusively male or female. I love being nonbinary because it allows me to be my most authentic self; I have the freedom to make my own rules and live my life unburdened by the expectations and gender roles imposed by society.
