Nery Gonzalez-Garcia is in her third year of Her Campus. She loves the fact that she can freely express her ideas in an encouraging environment.
Outside of Her Campus, Nery loves journaling and reading science fiction novels. She attributes her love of reading and writing to her various English teachers. Her most influential teacher was her AP Literature and Composition teacher, who helped her become a better writer. Nery is currently attending North Carolina State University. Here, she hopes to earn bachelor’s degrees in both Microbiology and Bioprocessing Science. She is also excited to be the first in her family to graduate with a bachelor’s degree.
Nery hails from Hickory, North Carolina, a medium-sized town one hour north of Charlotte. It is the perfect distance from the mountains and from the city. She enjoys hiking these mountains during the summer and fall. In her free time, she loves spending time with her family, friends, and her six cats. Her favorite cat is a black cat called Pina (also known as Pineapple)
