PH-SAS Advisors
Nina Herras
“Hi everyone! My name is Nina I. Herras, and I’m from Chicago, Illinois. I’m currently a senior at SDSU, and I hope to graduate this May with a degree in Public Health (yay!). I’ve actually been in school for awhile, so I’ve had the opportunity to experience a lot of different things from university dorm life, navigating through San Diego community colleges, to transferring into SDSU. I’m definitely not an expert, but I would love the opportunity to help you in anyway that I can. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions from time management, Public Health, or anything at all. My ultimate goal is be a resource that you can turn to for encouragement and support :). Can’t wait to hear from you! Thank you 🙂

Helen Nguyen
“My name is Helen Nguyen and I’m from the Bay Area but you can always find me wasting my money on boba and spontaneous food adventures. I enjoy giving back to my local communities which is why I’m currently involved with organizations on campus such as Flying Samaritans and MedLife. I want to help students find opportunities, network, and mentor them so they can accomplish their goals. I’m a second year Public Health major with a double minor in Cellular Molecular Biology and Honors Interdisciplinary Studies on the Pre-Med track. I can’t wait to work with you guys soon!
