My name is Blanca Cerda and I am a senior. I am pursuing a major in neuroscience and a minor in sociology. I am passionate about serving others and learning new things. As a follower of Jesus Christ, I believe that we show our love to others by serving them. Love is often defined as a feeling, but Jesus teaches us that love is a sacrificial action. I participated in the Volunteer Placement Program during my sophomore year and volunteered at the Buff Pantry. It was a very rewarding experience. In addition, I am a first-generation Latina student. I am the eldest of three children and my parents are from Mexico. My career goal is to work with children in the neuroscience field. I am very excited to serve our community!
