My name is Hannia Hernandez-Mendoza, and I am a rising senior at Washington State University, majoring in Political Science Pre-Law, minoring in Criminal Justice.At WSU, I am a student mentor for first-year students and VP of the People of Color Coalition. I also serve as an intern with ASWSU Student Legal Services and as a student lobbyist on the WSU Lobbying Team.

What is your dream job? What kind of impact do you hope to make?
My long-term goals are attending law school, practicing as a Immigration Lawyer, and ultimately pursuing a career in public service. I aspire to run for Congress one day, not for power, but for representation. I want children of farmworkers, immigrants, and first-generation students to see themselves reflected in those who vote on the bills that will govern their lives

My favorite public servant is Zohran Mamdani, the current mayor of New York City, who has supported working families and underserved communities.
