Javaris D. Herndon

Born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida

An undergraduate currently attending the University of South Florida-Tampa

I am involved on campus as a member of Enactus, Circle K International, Sigma Lambda Beta Fraternity, Sigma Alpha Lambda Honors Society, Doctors Without Borders, Economics Scholars Society, and French Club.

I am passionate about international health, policy, humanitarian action, gender and racial equality, international relations, international business, culture, and language. I love traveling, learning new things, meeting new people, and I plan to have a career that enables me to do so. This world is full of incredible things and people and I want to experience as much as possible. More importantly, I want to be a positive impact and through my journey be positively impacted.

I strive to learn and develop ways to better my life and the lives of those around me. I enjoy life and truly believe in living it to the fullest, and helping others along the way. I want people to remember me as a dreamer, an activist, a philanthropist, a humanitarian, an entrepreneur, an educator, loving, kind, genuine, and a friend.
