Hi everyone! I’m Rudy Hernandez, a second-year student studying Conservation and Resource Studies with an intended minor in Chicanx Studies. I was born and raised in East Los Angeles; Growing up in East LA sparked an interest for me to want to learn about how environmental racism influences the public health crises and sociological disadvantages low-income and communities of color face. Other than being a PAL, I am a brother of Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity Inc., and I assist seniors from my old high school with college and financial aid applications. In my free time you can catch me taking the BART to different parts of the Bay Area, getting Peet’s coffee <3, or shopping. I'm a very open book, so if you have questions about navigating Berkeley, my experience at Cal so far, or just want to chat, I would be happy to!
