Welcome! My name is Nesley Bravo. I am an undergraduate senior at the University of Washington. This academic year I will be attaining my Bachelor of Arts in Social Welfare, with Interdisciplinary Honors, and a minor in Education, Learning and Society. As a product of immigrant parents and being a first- generation college student, I am driven to address educational disparities and to practice through a strengths-based and systems lens. My passions lie in continuing dialogue on power, privilege and systematic oppression to raise awareness on the responsibilities individuals have in breaking down societal systems built on oppressive histories and practices. In August 2015, I will be continuing my education at Washington University in St. Louis for my Master in Social Work. I hope to continue my learning abroad and to eventually attain a Ph.D to share my learning at the University level as a professor.
