Hello! I’m Adriana Cacho and I’m from and currently living in San Diego, CA. I’m 21 years old and attend California State University San Marcos. I am majoring in biology with an emphasis on ecology and minoring in sociology as well. My dream job is to work in zoology and conservation with the San Diego Zoo as a head arachnologist or entomologist. I am a very ambitious person. I want to discover new species and protect known ones. I also strive to educate and empower others to preserve our planet for future species, including ourselves since climate change affects minorities the most. I am currently a student and an Environmental and Community Outreach Intern with Don Luis Estates LLC and Pacifico Properties LLC. In my free time I enjoy raising spiders, especially in the Latrodectus family. I have raised black widows since I was seven years old. My fascination and love for them drives me to free them from the stigma that surrounds them and other spiders or insects. I am passionate, charismatic, and innovative. My most interesting quality is being open-minded and my most compelling skill is being the change I want to see. One of my favorite projects I am currently working on is making the real estate industry more sustainable and humane with pest control. The best advice I have ever received is; “It’s better to regret something you did instead of something you didn’t do.”

I’d love to connect, my instagram is: @_its_cacho_

I look forward to meeting you! :)

Hey, Guys!

I'm Sofia and I'm from the Philippines/Costa Rica, but am currently in Idaho. I'm 22, studying in USC at the School of Cinematic Arts with an interdisciplinary major in Media Arts & Practice and a minor in Architecture.

I don't particularly have a "dream" job; I'm in an interdisciplinary major for a reason and want to be working on several projects simultaneously. That said, I do have a personal goal of going to MIT for graduate school to be a part of Neri Oxman's Media Lab and have her as my mentor.

My interests vary immensely, but a few I can mention have to do with: storytelling through different platforms of media, making a social/environmental impact, traveling, and cooking! Talk to me about traveling, food, nature, anything creative, and your personal philosophies.

I'd say that my upbringing and life experience has shaped me into who I am today. For me, that means that I've developed certain skills that I truly value: easily adaptable, multi-cultural perspective,  empathetic, creative, open-minded and I have an innate need to help others.

Right now, I'm doing a 3 month internship at Vogue PH helping with research, interviews, and articles. Then of course, I'm doing my work as part of the Mindot team; it's small, but mighty and we all really see the potential for opportunities in shaping our futures.

That said, I'd say that my favorite project thus far is one that I started working on last semester with my boyfriend Tyler throughout a class called "Transmedia Narratives" in which we worked on conceptualizing and developing one story. Our story got a lot of great feedback, and we now have amazing support from brilliant individuals in SCA to eventually pitch out story and bring it to life.

The best advice I always have in mind, is this:

"Thoughts can be taught, shaped, and not your own. Feelings cannot."

I have always and will always trust myself and my own intuition. It has never led me astray.

My full name is Maria Fernanda, you can call me Maria or Mafe, whichever is easier to pronounce. I was born in Lima, Perú and I currently live here as well. I´m 23 years old and I majored in Graphic Design, which is the field I currently work in at a local research and design studio.

At the moment I´m not really sure what my dream job would be since I´m interested in exploring different areas in the design/visual communication/tech field, but I aspire to work in a space fueled by collaborative minds.

I think my main goal in life is to find a path that allows me to feel fulfilled professionally while also prioritizing my personal life and travel to spend time with loved ones.

I spend a lot of time online, so I like keeping tabs on pretty much anything related to fashion, media, culture, sports, etc. I´m also a very curious person so I love finding out new facts and researching about new subjects. You can never know enough even if some of the things you find out can seem useless at first.

I’ve recently taken up reading again and set myself a goal of 30 books by the end of the year. If you guys have any recommendations I’d be super grateful if you shared them with me.

I think the best two pieces of advice I’ve ever received are “Rest, but don’t quit” and “Comfort zones are most often expanded through discomfort”. I’ve recently started reminding myself that to create real change you have to practice patience, do things regardless of how much they intimidate you and accept that you will face discomfort through the process.

Pfizer Design Challenge

What are we solving for?

How can we better reach, educate and support underserved communities who are participating in federal 340B programs?

Output: Develop a community engagement and outreach framework for Pfizer to leverage.

Figjam link for activity collaboration: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1144386146533481122

Questions to ask:

How would you define an underserved community?

What would be some of the challenges in underserved communities to have access to healthcare and medicines?

What is a creative approach for reaching individuals within an underserved community?

What challenges might we face?

What tools/technology should we consider using?

How would we measure success?

Context:
The federal 340B Program is a drug price control program that allows qualifying providers, generally hospitals, specialty clinics and their associated outpatient facilities serving uninsured and low-income patients in rural communities, to purchase outpatient drugs from manufacturers at discounted prices. 340B program generates valuable savings for eligible hospitals to invest in programs that enhance patient services and access to care. Communities in need could lose access to valuable, life-saving care without the financial support from the 340B program.

I’m from Ecuador and I’m currently studying at Northeastern University in Boston majoring in interdisciplinary studies. I’m 19 years old ( in October I will be turning 20) :(. I’m passionate about psychology, sociology and international affairs ( you can tell I love human interaction haha).
My dream job probably would be any non-profit or governmental organization (UN, UNICEF). One day I will have my own organization dedicated to mental health in the youth through art. I’m a believer of healing through art. I love social work, fun fact: I was part of the interact club and will be joining rotary club soon. I want to be the one that offers a space where young people can feel safe, adventurous and able to deal with their emotions. I’m really excited to be in this course with you all.
In my free time I love to read (especially fantasy, I love all genres though), and love dancing( hip hop is my thing 😎). I would describe myself as brave, smart and determined.
Feel free to talk to me about anything. I’m not that good at approaching people so you will help me if you contact me about anything.
I would consider my imagination an interesting skill Of mine and one that I treasure the most because it represents me.
I’m planning to do an internship or co op in the spring or summer. I’m sure this course will help me to find my path.🤍
The best advice or phrase I have received from someone is : “Nothing is lost, just changed”.

Hi my name is Abby and I'm from Las Vegas but now I live in California. I'm 16 years old and  I will be a junior this upcoming school year.

I am still working on setting my goals so I joined this program to learn about the different opportunities. Some things I am interested in are the beauty industry and business.

One of my main hobbies is my small nail business, I am self-taught and learning how to expand beyond friends and family. Another one of my hobbies is weight lifting at the gym which I just recently started.

My name is Celeste, I'm 23 years old and I'm from Venezuela. I am currently studying advertising and digital marketing at the University of Greenwich in London.

My dream job would be to create my own advertising agency and make it very successful. Additionally, one of my life goals would be to provide better education for underprivileged children in Venezuela.

In my free time what I enjoy the most is going to art exhibitions or going out with friends to eat (I have an instagram page where I write restaurant reviews).

I'm very creative and I love making digital content for social media. I think one of the qualities that characterise me is that I always try to put myself in other people's shoes.

The best advice I was given is: "You are where you need to be, just breathe". This advice has helped me a lot to make smart decisions in times of pressure.

Hi, my name is Olivia! I'm 20, and I'm studying Psychology with Business and Management at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England.

My degree has a particular focus on Organisational Psychology, because I'm passionate about helping people feel fulfilled in roles they love. At this point in my life, I feel a career in recruiting, HR, or a freelancer working on company culture would be a good fit for me and my career.

I'm currently the Manager of Events and Recruiting at the Sustainable Fashion Collective in my university (@sfc.bn on Instagram). We focus on empowering students to make more informed choices about fashion and its impact on the climate. We offer avenues for this, such as hosting secondhand clothes sales events.

I took a gap year in Taiwan and that opened my eyes to how much I want to travel while working; I think that working in an international company while exploring what the world has to offer would be my dream. In my travels, I have been exposed to and learned to converse with a lot of different people from all kinds of backgrounds, and this has taught me that I suit an unpredictable and varied role working with a lot of people.

In my free time I love to play classical guitar, bake, and read. I have always been a person of varied interests, which has made me adaptable and a quick learner. And very popular among friends once they hear I've put cookies in the oven!

I was born in CA, lived in FL, and now I live in TX! My mom is from the Dominican Republic.

I'm 18 years old and a Senior in High School, I've been homeschooled for the last 10 years. I'm currently looking at universities that fit well with my career, which will be Film/TV and Media, and a side focus on Musical Theatre.

My dream job is being a director for Disney and on Broadway, and also starring in Disney shows, movies, and Broadway shows :) (and my DREAM opportunity would be developing the first Latina/Afro-Latina Disney princess)

My passion for storytelling and creating has been with all my life, starting with my first dream of being an opera singer when I was 6. Since then, I've found so much love for musical theatre, and I've discovered that there is so much room in the film and media industry!

One of the huge reasons I'm so passionate about creating a space for everyone in media is the huge lack of representation for black, brown, asian, native, neurodivergent, disabled, queer, and impoverished people, as well as immigrants. I know that when we listen to these underserved communities (many of which I'm part of,) we can make a difference and improve the lives of so many.

I work as a freelancer and as a VA, and I also have my own company, WhollyART. I have worked as an intern for FreshFilms, and I'm going to be working on set for the FIRST TIME in just a couple of weeks!

I do a lot of video editing (including film and music video editing), website design, social media management, blog post and article writing, ebook writing, graphic design, photography, consulting, etc. for my clients.

I'm also an author! My first book was self-published at 7 years old, and then I was published by Morgan James Publishing at 9 years old with my older sister.

3 words to describe me: Creative, Friendly, and Determined.

Talk to me about basically any important cause: environmental conservation, animal conservation, women's rights, LGTBQ+ rights, representation, equality and equity, etc. Also talk to me about movies, shows, books, art, and fandom stuff!

What are some of your favorite projects you are working on right now? I am currently (trying) to begin developing an online course for teens! Also writing a lot of scripts for short films I have in mind.

Share the best advice you have ever received: Be myself, and tell my own story.

Hello everyone!
I'm Cami from Lima, Peru.

I have a bachelor's degree in Marketing from Universidad de Lima, where I graduated in 2019. I am also specializing in Digital Marketing.
My dream is to grow professionally in jobs related to Marketing. One of my goals is to study for a master's degree in NYC or London.

I currently work in the FinTech app team of a Peruvian bank, but I have had the opportunity to work in the Marketing, Communications, and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) teams.

I love to travel and explore new places! I consider myself a photography enthusiast. I also enjoy dancing, meditating, walking, and spending time with people I love. Our world is so beautiful and I love creating experiences.

I describe myself as an empathetic, friendly, and passionate person. I enjoy talking about any topic in general because I think that we learn everyday something new and it is valuable, but my favorites ones are traveling, meditation and personal growth.

So excited to be part of MindGirl! <3

Hii!
I'm Jimena, but you can call me Mena.
I was born and raised in Lima, Peru and I currently live here!

I'm 23 years old and I graduated from college last year with a Graphic Design degree. I am currently working as a Design Project Manager at a design studio in Peru.

Currently I feel like I am on the way to achieve and fulfill my goals and dreams, slowly but steady. One of them is actually having my dream job, which is being a Design Director/Creative Director and running my own design studio. I still haven't figured out completely what I want to do with my life but what I do know is how I want to live it. One of my life goals since I finished high school was to make a positive impact on people's lives, so that's why I try to always leave my mark everywhere I go. I'm also planning on doing a postgraduate on Illustration and a Branding master overseas.

In my free time I enjoy doing things related to art! I love illustrating, reading, watching series on Netflix or gameplays on Twitch. I have a small business where I sell handmade stuff and also run a Youtube channel where I vlog and upload random videos of my life :)

I am a very direct and woke person! But I would also describe myself as a creative and down to earth one.

Talk to me about anything! I enjoy talking about tv shows, kpop, art or just life in general.

My name is Tanya Mendoza, I’m 20 years old, from The Bronx, NY, and currently studying Government and Africana Studies at Connecticut College.

I am fascinated by many industries, some of which include politics, social organizations, and journalism/media.

In my free time I love to spend time with my cat, exercise, re-watch a comfort tv series, complete a puzzle, or learn about tarot/other spiritual practices.

The most useful advice and philosophy I find to be powerful is the idea of realities; everyone has a unique reality, one that is worth listening to and questioning. This allows me to take every interaction with the world as a learning opportunity and recognize the value within everyone and myself.

My name is Maddy and I'm from Idaho. I am 20 years old, but I will be 21 in three weeks. I am not currently in school, but I have half of an undecided associates degree. I'm currently working as a bartender while I figure out long term goals.

I don't know that I have a dream job, I am a creative and in a perfect world I'd have a thousand degrees and careers. The top two would probably be as a traveling photographer for National Geographic, and a therapist working with children with autism.

In my free time I'm usually out in the mountains, hiking, skiing, camping, anything outdoorsy. If I'm not in the mountains I'm baking/cooking or writing/painting/sketching.

I would describe myself as the kind of person to drive a 1985 VW Station Wagon. I'm incredibly empathetic and introspective, but in many ways to a fault. I could talk about philosophy for hours on end, and I always end up being the therapist friend.

The best advice I have ever received is that the universe molds to you, not the other way around and that anything you want you can create. As long as you create with conviction.

Hi!
My name is Johanna Graf. I am 21 years old originally from Ecuador but currently studying in Loyola University Chicago. I am a junior majoring in Marketing hoping to work in the marketing/advertising field of big firms and corporations like Nordstrom, Revolve, Netflix, Amazon, MAC, among others, but it is still very confusing to know where exactly I see myself in the future. I am very into fashion, makeup, photography, health and wellness, but also in learning from new experiences. That is why I love traveling, meeting different people and mindsets, reading, visiting museums, and enrolling in programs where I can full develop my potential like Mindot :)

I would say that my most interesting qualities and skills are patient, persistent, easily adaptable, hardworking, creative, and passionate in my work. I hope this semester to take an internship to gain a little more experience on my career. The best advice ever received is: "if you let people's perception of you dictate your behavior, you will never grow as person. But if you leave yourself open to experience, despite what others think, then you will learn and grow."

I am very excited to meet you!

Hello everyone!

I'm Daniela from Venezuela, currently living in Costa Rica. I'm 22 years old, studying Medicine at UCIMED.  Currently, my dream job is to be an anesthesiologist.

My top interests and what I like to do, are traveling, music, dance, movies/series, cooking, and baking! Talk to me about everything! I'm always excited to learn new things, make friends, and help people!

I would say that my most interesting qualities and skills are problem-solving, teamwork, easily adaptable, leadership, and analytical skills.

The best advice I have ever received is:

"Always believe in yourself and no matter what trust your instinct and be confident about it"

Hello! I am from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Oh, and I’m 21 :)

I currently live in New York where I study Food Business Management, Baking and Pastry in the Culinary Institute of America.

My dream job is to have my own TV show and to open or manage my own help center, like a soup kitchen.

My passion in life and what I think my purpose is is to help people and bring happiness to the world. This fulfills me and at the same time I think I’m good at it. I love love, seeing people happy and more if I helped them achieve it.

My plan is to finish my Bachelors, work for a year in New York City and then take some courses and finally go back to Mexico to get married, start my own family and open my own business.

I would describe myself as: kind, bubbly and loving

The best advice I have ever received is really a quote that’s in Spanish but I will translate it for you: “bees don’t waste their time explaining to flies why honey is better than shit.” This means not to waste your time with people that are not on your level. Don’t waste energy on people that don’t care about you, that just want to bring you down, that talk bad about you behind your back, etc. This quote has helped me a lot because I have always been a very forgiving person, I would accept anyone in my life, but a couple of months ago I realized that there are certain people that just don’t go with me, that want to bring me down, that make me feel less than I am actually worth, and these people don’t deserve my time and effort.

My name is Shadia Mozo. I'm a 17 year old from Colombia. Currently, I am not pursuing a university degree because I am studying English to pursue my dreams abroad, as Colombia lacks modern science careers, instrumentation and has a great delay in scientific dissemination. In my case, Astronomy.
I want to be an astrophysicist in the future to give hope to the young people of my country who want to get ahead, managing projects with Nasa and extending it throughout Colombia. It would be an honor for me to conduct multiple scientific researches contributing to the development of society.
It would be a great honor to become a woman who has encouraged many others to fulfill their dreams from Colombia. Therefore, I want to contribute to awaken Colombia through science outreach and help transform the world from my rigorous perspective.
On the other hand, talking about my qualities and skills the ones That stand out the most are:
- Im a good leader
- Im curious (I question everything and seek to learn more)
- I work excellently in a group because I respect and value everyone's opinion- be tolerant
- I am creative and always seek to do exceptional things.
- I try hard when something is difficult for me
- I like to learn on my own when someone explains something to me.
- I stand out in Physics
- I am competitive (I always like to give more of myself and demand more from myself)
- I am always there to push my friends, family and work team. Because I think that we all deserve help and if someone knows or excels in something, they should help their peers.
- I am organized and know how to prioritize the important things
- I am open minded and open to dialogue
- I create a healthy environment in my work team based on dialogue, listening, agreement and respect.
- I am analytical
- I am extroverted
- I am kind
- I am humble at heart
- I am compassionate

Lastly, in my free time I like to read books or scientific articles that can expand my knowledge. I am also fascinated by learning about astronomy on my own and consulting it in depth, as well as I love to analyze everything I observe, hear or research. And I speak from an approach where I can prove my opinion with facts.
Although I'm not yet a professional, I've had experience with what it means to coordinate different researchs on important topics that revolve around Science; being one of the head leaders of the institutional Science program. I also am behind a project that carriers the purpose to include Astronomy as a powerful and unique tool to teach-learn the various aspects about each school subject.

I dare say that, thanks to the chance Mindot is providing me to write this, I'm completely motivated to learn everything I can to become a potential candidate for the astrophysics community; assuring that Science grows within the value of education.

Hi! My name is Dámaris Herrera, I´m 20, from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I am still discovering what to study, but I will update you when I found that out.

I´m living in my hometown, while studying a lot of things until I go to college.

My dream job was to be a pediatrician, but I´m trying to find other options. But If I have to describe my dream job, it´ll be surrounded by kids, something that involves talking, or being with people.

I love to spend time with friends and family, watch movies, and love to ride the bike, I feel happy and like all stress is gone.

I think the best advice I´ve ever received is to always dream big, because if others can do something, so can you

Hello everyone! I'm super excited to be here. I'm from Ecuador and I'm 20 years old. I am currently studying biotechnology engineering at USFQ. Since I was little I have visualized my future with a lab coat, at first I thought I wanted to be a doctor but then I cleared my mind and realized that my thing was biotechnology. My dream job would be in an animal biotechnology or genetics laboratory. I have several goals, one of them is to have my own company or business, I am still not sure what it is but I would like to have a social purpose, something that impacts society and could be very successful. I’m a dog lover and I would like to have a foundation for abandoned dogs. In my free time I like to be with my family spending quality time, I like to play and walk my dog. Another thing I like to do is to cook with my mom. As I said I am very interested in science, in the area of entrepreneurship and I also like fashion.

The three words that would define me are: resilient, curious, independent.

I think one of my best qualities is to be independent, since I was very young I have liked to do things alone despite having the support and affection of my family in everything I have done. I always prefer to earn things on my own merit and being independent has also helped me to be able to study away from my family and friends and despite having fear and sorrow I have been able to grow and mature successfully. I believe that one of my strongest skills is being creative has helped me to face many things and look for viable solutions to personal or work problems. I am currently in a course called WISE which is women in stem entrepreneurship. This course is helping me to reach my goal of creating a company or entrepreneurship focused on my area, which is science.

The best advice I have been given is to get used to the inevitable, this advice was given to me by my dad and it is what helps me to get through things that affect me but are out of my hands.

1. I asked the representatives at thrive the following questions;

Since healing is not always liner, especially in a mental health aspect, how do you quantify or track progress?

What are some helpful habits to improve healthy habits like time management or reduce burnout?

2. In my daily life I do several mindfulness practices like skincare, poetry writing, and painting.

Hi! I am Rafaella Hidalgo, but you can call me Rafa :).  I am from Ecuador but currently living in Valencia, Spain studying Graphic design in EASD Valencia.

When people ask me what my dream job is, i think it´s a very confusing or extensive question to answer. I believe that my passion is towards graphic design, of course there are many branches in there, but i think that i just have to experience a whole lot more in to them so that i can really discover what exactly i want to be doing the rest of my life.

My life goal is to really be doing what i love,  doing graphic design in a place where i feel comfortable, where its really appreciated and most of all, it works, as the main function of design is for it to work.

My top interests are illustration and branding. I would describe myself as creative, ambicious and energetic.

I think one interesting quality about me is that i really focus when i have to get one job done, no matter how long it takes me or how much it stresses me, i believe that if i was assigned to do it i have to and would not even think of giving up!

The best advice i have ever received was: "do not take a critic from someone you wouldn´t take an advice".

I was in a 2017 mindweek program and absolutely LOVED it, i hope this program turns out as well or even better!

Creating a new Airport.
Our Idea is to create a door to door airport. Meaning when you arrive to the airport you go straight to your gate and each gate its own building that has check in & security.

Hey Everyone! Kind of late to this but I'm Analia Espinoza. I was born and currently live in Ecuador. I am 16 years old, so I'm a highschool junior (class of '24!!) looking into studying Cognitive Sciences (Neuroscience) with a focus on Early Childhood (it's a very specific career path, but it's the perfect mix of so many of my passions). My dream job would be under educational and scientific research on cognition, or becoming a kindergarten teacher. I dream of being able to persevere in my life. I'm pretty young but I think that my biggest ambition is to be able to keep growing and to make positive impact in my community. In my free time, I love to read, listen to music (HUGE Taylor Swift & Phoebe Bridgers fan) as well as baking and honestly just browsing social media. My top interests include biology, makeup and literature as well as writing and painting (pretty random mix i know). If I had to describe myself in 3 words I would say perseverant, kind, and hardworking. One of my favorite projects I'm currently working on is my Extended Essay (IB Student), which is on Biology and I'm focusing on the effects of natural and artificial antibiotics on the growth of bacterias present on chickpeas!

I would love to end this with a bit of advice that helps me a lot. My mom always tells me two things and they're two things that I live by: Number 1, Health (physical and mental) goes first, education is second and Number 2, taking things one day at  a time is the most important thing.
