For this week’s second FLi Highlight, we interviewed Adela Herce, another FLiSP participant. Check out her interview below!

Hometown and intended concentration?
Hayward, CA and biochemistry.

Why did you apply to FLiSP?
I felt like it would give me a community and people I could relate to. It would help me make friends and it seemed like a really good resource. But a lot of us knew each other before. We all met each other on Twitter and ended up in U-FLiSP together.

What do you like best about Brown so far?
Aside from my friends, I like the fact that it is a very academic environment but not to the point where it’s not a collaborative environment. Brown isn’t a place where people are mean to each other just for asking for help.

What are you currently looking forward to?
I’m looking forward to building closer relationships with my friends and to see the growth from when I started at Brown until the end of first semester, end of second semester. Also going back home.
