Bryana Lopez

Railroad Street Youth Student Empowerment (RYSE) Program Intern

Bryana is a freshman at Berkshire Community College. She is super excited to be the Railroad Street Youth Student Empowerment (RYSE) Program intern this year! On weekends, she works at her dad’s food truck and in her free time she loves to take walks / runs to Lake Mansfield, take pictures, make playlists, and listen to music. She is always making everything about music and constantly on the lookout for new songs or artists to listen to. Currently, she is working alongside a Harvard student and other community members on an immigrant research study in the Berkshires. In the future, she hopes to attend a 4-year university in Boston and major in Biomedical Engineering. She's eager to be part of the RYSE team this year and as a past participant in 2022, this feels like a full circle moment for her.
