Born and raised in Miami, Jessie Wang grew up attending large and diverse public schools which, along with being biracial herself, gave her an appreciation for diversity from an early age. Wang left Miami for Boston to attend Emmanuel College where she served as student government president and discovered a passion for working with college-age students. After earning a bachelorâs in health and counseling psychology in 2019, Wang applied for several graduate school programs and was accepted into all of them, choosing Harvard University. During her time at Harvard, she focused on research on fostering underrepresented student success, particularly among students on color and first-generation students at predominantly white institutions of higher education.
