Ana Febres-Cordero is 21 years old, and a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire. She is a proud member of the Tau Chapter of Alpha Xi Delta sorority on campus, and is am hoping to apply for an executive position for her sorority. She ran the 2017 Boston Marathon for the Deconstructing Stigma campaign, which works toward de-stigmatizing mental illness, and raised money for McLean Hospital. She considers herself a mental health advocate, as she has become very passionate about helping others realize they are not alone in their struggle. Ana is so happy to be a part of such a strong, and growing community of those who are also speaking up about their personal experience, or those who are connected to mental illness to advocate for an important cause.

Ana shares her story in the This Is My Brave Boston Fall show in 2018.
