Nyla Guadalupe '23 – Introduction
Hi! My name is Nyla Guadalupe and I am a senior Psychology and Black Studies double major proudly from the Bronx, New York. While I will always be an NYC girl at heart, Amherst’s fall foliage and picturesque view of Memorial Hill have slowly won me over. On campus you can probably find me in the Greenways enjoying my view of the field, working in the science center by the spiral staircases, ushering for music concerts in Arms, and talking in Val with friends for way longer than I had probably planned.
Fun fact about me: I love dancing and singing! As someone with a vast background in the arts, some of my involvements throughout my time at Amherst include DASAC (Dance and Step at Amherst College), the Zumbyes, and Choral Society, more specifically Concert Choir. As you can probably tell, I enjoy performing and getting to share the stage with others.
When I’m not on stage, you can find me engaging with a number of Amherst affinity spaces such as the Black Student Union, Queer Resource Center, the Women & Gender Center, and the Multicultural Resource Center. I am also an organizer for Amherst QTPOC (Queer & Trans People of Color) Collective, a new student organization that serves as a safe space for LGBTQ+ and questioning people of color and aims to build coalition with LGBTQ and racial affinity groups on campus.
If you have any questions or want to talk to me about my Amherst experience, email me at nguadalupe23@amherst.edu.
