Elijah Puente
Biography
Hi! My name is Elijah, and I am a senior from Indiana studying Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and also completing a Certificate in Intercultural Competence in American Sign Language. On campus, I've previously been a Community Coordinator, organized with LOCC (the CC labor union), edited for post- magazine, been a SafeWalker, done outreach for HOPE, and TA'd for CHEM330. Currently, I am a Meiklejohn, doing RNA research on breast cancer, coordinating the Brown Sign Languages Society, and volunteering at Brown EMS and Rhode Island Free Clinic. I love learning languages, cooking, taking long walks, and occasionally crocheting. You can talk to me about being first-gen and/or pre-med, navigating campus resources, my restaurant recommendations around Providence, or anything really. I'd love to chat!
