Joselin Padron-Rasines was born in Valencia, Venezuela and raised in Miramar, Florida. She works for Education First, a national education and strategy firm, as a consultant where she supports foundations, state and local education agencies and nonprofits to design organizations and implement structures and processes centered on coherence and equity. During her time at the University of Florida, she served as the first Latina Student Body President where her administration successfully introduced diversity training for Executive Student Government officials, implemented gender-neutral restrooms, created the first Mental Health Awareness week, and launched the Gator Career Closet which provides students with access to professional wear.
