Hello! My name is Aimar Rosario Ávila and I am a third-year student at Barnard College majoring in Urban Studies with a concentration in psychology and a minor in education. I’m from Puerto Rico and my research aims to investigate how the categorization of social spaces can reflect an interplay of political, historic, and cognitive developments through an intersectional lens.
I am an undergraduate student at Brown pursuing undergraduate education in Computer Science and Chemistry. I intend to proceed to Medical School and ultimately specialize in Neurosurgery. I play soccer.
Hello! I am currently a rising sophomore at Brown University, and I intend to concentrate in Computer Science (A.B.) and Religious Studies. I have a deep passion for writing and am considering a future in law. A lot of my work in the past has centered the importance of uplifting youth voices and autonomy within the community and at institutional levels, so I am excited to continue that legacy as a Laidlaw Scholar.
Hi! My name is Gabi, I am Colombian and Chilean, and I study International and Public Affairs at Brown University. I care deeply about human rights everywhere, and have spent the majority of my university years organizing for labor and immigrant rights, as well as food and housing security. I started and currently lead our school's chapters of Amnesty International and Food Not Bombs. I hope to one day work in international human rights law, or documentary production.
Hi! I'm Elena, a pre-med student-athlete at Brown University studying Chemistry and Literary Arts! I love deep talks, working out, and thrill-seeking. I am so excited to be a part of the Laidlaw Scholars Network!
This summer, I am working on data extraction for a systematic review of themes relevant to mental health in Filipino communities. In collaboration with Dr. Melissa Palma, I will also develop an independent study project that identifies key shared beliefs among Filipino-American communities, notably immigrants, that correlate with reluctance against receiving preventative medical treatment.
I'd love to connect if you are looking into similar topics or if you'd like to geek out about research in general!
Hi Fellow Laidlaw Scholars,
My name is Daïdo, and I am thrilled to get to know you all as we embark on this exciting academic journey together. I am majoring in both Public Health and Health and Human Biology at Brown University, with a strong aspiration to advance the understanding and dissemination of social determinants of health. This summer, I am delving into research that explores stigma and resilience among vulnerable populations, aiming to contribute meaningful insights to this crucial area.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy biking and listening to Frank Ocean. I also love trying new foods with friends and crocheting in my spare time. Looking forward to connecting with you all and sharing our experiences!
Best, Daïdo
