High School Queens |
I entered Project Bridge as a senior at Long Island City High School in Queens and in fall 2020 started at Mercy College. I was born in New York and went to Mexico when I was 3, living with my mom and two older brothers for about 4 years before returning to the US. I am active in my church and the community services it provides. And enjoy learning languages and watching documentaries about ancient life, or anything that involves archaeology and paleontology. In the future I hope to become a veterinary technician, archaeologist, or be involved in deaf studies. |

Born in Xiamen, China, I received primary education until I was 10 in a Chinese school that highly valued the principles of Confucianism. I am fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and English. Since moving to New York for high school, I have enjoyed participating in many extracurriculars in diverse fields such as entrepreneurship and social activism. I founded BabyBumps, a company aiming to create a new, more environmentally sustainable form of maternity wear products that allows using a special zipper design. I also founded Redefy Stuyvesant, a chapter of the international nonprofit organization that seeks to empower schools with resources and information to be more inclusive. |

I live in Park Slope, Brooklyn and play soccer and run track for my school. I am also on the Model UN team. I am very interested in government, especially foreign relations. Although I have no idea what I want to do in the future, I hope it ends up being something enjoyable and fulfilling! | |||

I live and study in Brooklyn and am an avid and cognizant global-environmentalist who has a deep interest sustaining arctic and tropical habitats for plants and animals. I am also a member of my school’s debate team, band ensemble, varsity basketball team, and National Honor Society. Culture also shapes my character. With both parents being born in Jamaica, my Caribbean background works in tangent with my American roots. |

While I live in Brooklyn, my high school was in Staten Island Technical High School. In fall 2020 I started my undergrad studies at Cornell University pursuing engineering. Since middle school I have participated in STEM programs such as Girls Who Code and GOALS for Girls at the Intrepid (Naval) Museum. I recently ended an internship at the Intrepid Museum as part of a STEM Entrepreneur group where I will help create a business plan and viable product. For the past nine years I have played the clarinet. In high school I joined my school’s marching band. I am also interested in art and hope to record everything that happens this coming year in my bullet journal. |

 Osbani Garcia Group Leader |
I grew up in a small town in Mexico until the age of 12 when I moved back to New York City to the diverse neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens. I attended the Flushing International High School (FIHS) and in 2008 I was fortunate to be a Project Bridge Youth Ambassador. I am now an educator and feel honored to have come full circle and able to give back to my community and once again be part of Project Bridge, this time as a group leader and also a student as one never stops learning. I am humbled and honored to help lead a group of amazing Youth Ambassadors whose leadership and initiative will help them continue to grow as amazing leaders who bring cultural and social unification to their communities. |
