My name is Desiree Harrison-Brown. I was born and raised in Baltimore County, Maryland. I am a junior communication major and law and society minor. I pride myself on being active within the campus community. I was previously a community assistant in the residence hall and I am currently the Community Service and Events Coordinator of the UMD section of the National Council of Negro Women. I love giving back and frequently volunteer with TerpService Day.
I love traveling and exploring new place inside and outside of the states. I spent last spring break abroad in Bahia, Brazil studying themes of race, poverty and criminal justice as it pertains to the life of Afro-Brazilians. I am very excited about my first alternative spring break experience to Chicago. I chose this program because education is particularly important to me. Through my education I have been afforded so many opportunities and experiences that I would not have been afforded otherwise. I hope that I can spread awareness and help fix some of the problems with urban education. I am looking forward to spending spring break in the Windy City!
