Hi, my name is Emily Benitez, and I am a second-year student at Brown University concentrating in Cognitive Science and Modern Culture & Media. I am not sure exactly what profession I want to pursue, but I know it will be related to service, as I love helping people. In the past, I have worked as an intern at Fuerza Laboral, a non-profit organization focused on helping immigrants in the Rhode Island area facing worker exploitation. Here at Brown, I am involved in clubs like The Brown Noser, where we write satirical articles about campus life and more. I am also a member of Women in Science and Engineering, where we connect women with upperclassmen to get advice on their professional careers. In addition, I am social media manager of the Crosswording Club, which focuses on solving New York Times puzzles every Monday, as well as the Brown Film Magazine, where I write articles discussing and analyzing recent watches.
I am Salvadoran-American and currently live in a city right outside of Dallas, Texas. In my free time, I love to watch and rate movies. My personal favorites are Jojo Rabbit and 12 Angry Men. I also enjoy reading informational books on topics ranging from the origins of the universe to psychological processes. Running is another passion of mine. I love appreciating the views on a run down Blackstone Blvd or around India Point Park. My goal in joining Her Campus is to publish pieces that have helped me in my own life and that I feel others can benefit from as well. I hope to address topics people might need guidance on, such as fashion, wellness, and relationships, while also sharing advice, insights, and ideas that readers can carry with them throughout their days.
