Jessie Jingqi Lin

Residing in the largest county in the United States, Jessie has come to find San Bernardino a place indescribable by just a singular term. At school, Jessie eagerly fosters hour-long debates with friends and at home, she speaks Cantonese with her family of three. Coming home to her mom’s homemade soups always makes her feel loved. Jessie recently began healing from a knee injury and is on her way to rekindle her love for running. She is also starting to draft her next oil painting, a family portrait for the entryway in her home.

Jessie is passionate about menstrual health resource access and believes that inequity marks this issue as one of the greater neglected human rights issues in the world. Jessie aspires to help alleviate the difficult circumstances some menstruating individuals face and as a Scholar is eagerly anticipating, “the opportunity to meet brilliant minds across the nation and sea. I hope to emerge as a community leader alongside these peers and while becoming acquainted with and impacted by diverse perspectives.”
