Jonathan Bryson-Harvey

Co-Managing Editor

Jonathan Bryson-Harvey is a sophomore at Columbia College considering a major in Economics with a Public Health concentration! Over the summer, he worked as a pharmacy technician, filling prescriptions and seeing firsthand the disparities in adequate healthcare and the financial toll that buying life-saving medications can take on families. He also completed my Emergency Medical Technician training at a local community college. He's very interested in healthcare equity and thinks that starts with equal access to health education and information, which is often neglected when it comes to women and other gender minorities.

Larissa Iraj

Secretary

Larissa is a junior at Barnard College majoring in Neuroscience and Behavior and minoring in Science and Public Policy. Her experiences as a volunteer in a community health center and as a shadow for an OBGYN allowed her to see the inequities in health that many women face and motivated her to be a voice for other women through journalism. Larissa is also involved in neuroscience research at the New York State Psychiatric Institute where she studies the effects of early life stress on the neural circuits involved in depression. She became part of GYNECA in hopes of raising awareness and initiating conversation about trending issues relating to women’s health.

Rahul Mullick

Treasurer

Rahul Mullick is a senior at Columbia College studying Biology. After witnessing systemic inequities in educational awareness and resources for women's healthcare through his clinical experiences, he was inspired to join Gyneca. Through Gyneca, he has grown as an advocate for women's health and has learned valuable lessons about persistence, leadership, and how access to resources can improve health outcomes. Rahul hopes to continue to grow as a women’s health advocate and leader through his tenure as treasurer for Gyneca.
