Isanette Villanueva

UPRM '26

Isanette Z. Villanueva Medina, is a student at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, where she is majoring in Political Science with curricular sequences in International Relations, Sociology, and Environmental Public Policy. Her academic journey has helped her understand the role each person holds in shaping society and the importance of striving for fairness, and opportunity in every decision. Through her studies, she has come to see that every generation holds a chance to leave behind something brighter than what it inherited and that the true calling of knowledge is not only to understand the world, but to embrace the responsibility of helping it become a place where dignity, and hope can flourish for all. Beyond Her Campus, she is also an active member of student organizations such as The Bookworm Society, AECIPO (Association of Political Science Students) and the Pre-Law Association, where she continues to grow and contribute as a dedicated member. These experiences have guided her academic growth and inspired her aspirations for a future career in law.

Outside of her studies, Isanette dedicates her time to activities that bring her peace and joy. She enjoys knitting, reading, and writing, but her greatest pleasures are baking and caring for her flowers. Baking muffins is one of her favorite pastimes, and tending to her roses and hydrangeas brings her the sweetest kind of happiness.

For Isanette, being part of Her Campus is a wonderful opportunity to join a community that values creativity and thoughtfulness. Grateful for this experience, she looks forward to the connections she will build, the memories that await her, and the chance to work alongside the kind women who make this community so special.
