Hello everyone, I am Higinia Flores and I am currently a junior at BMC. I am currently majoring in sociology! I use she/ hers pronouns and I am from Brooklyn, NY. I really love enjoy living in the city and meeting all types of people, it's a melting pot of different cultures.I grew up here all my life and I am excited to learn about the places others have grown up in. I am interested in exploring the ways in which different communities are impacted by gentrification. In recent years, many communities have been displaced by the rapid change of communities being displaced. 

I am currently part of SGA and work at the Pensby Center. In my free time, I enjoy knitting and trying different types of food.

Hi Higinia!
I'm also from Brooklyn. In my introduction I also mentioned gentrification because it is so upsetting to see Brooklyn change so rapidly. Looking forward to learning and hearing more from you.
