The Founder
Daphne Bernstein
Hi, I’m Daphne Bernstein and I am a sophomore in high school from Connecticut. I have always been interested in science, but more recently, after taking a biology course, my passion for it has grown. Additionally, after researching and writing a speech on educational inequalities in developing countries in my freshman year, I realized how the issue was intrinsically linked to gender inequality and women's health. Therefore, this project is an attempt to tie the two topics together in a way that can hopefully impact the lives of many women and girls.
In my free time, I love to play tennis, and I was a part of the New York State Championship team in both 2022 and 2023.

​
Hi, I’m Helene Prestandrea and I am a junior in highschool from New York. I took particular interest in the Her Health Matters project because I acknowledge the pressing need for increased awareness about women's health and the disparities in treating and recognizing these conditions. Many people in my life have been impacted by diseases such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and this inspires me to want to play a role in making a difference for women’s health.
