The Ripple Effect of Success

San Jac alumna Erica Fernandez Benavidez will begin a distance-learning master’s degree program in bioethics at Harvard University this fall. The Pasadena-born Texan credits her family as her driving force.

[San Jac nursing] professor Dr. Matthews taught me, ‘When you’re in the nursing field, you treat patients like you want to be treated.’ Those words stuck with me my whole career. She taught me the value of asking patients the right questions, viewing them as a whole and not just a diagnosis.”

Erica Fernandez Benavidez

San Jac Alumna

As a child of immigrants who don’t speak English, she found the path to being a first-generation college student daunting as she had to be her own advocate.

Benavidez will graduate from Harvard in 2026 and already plans to pursue a Ph.D. in public health afterward.

She also started a home infusion business, Amigos Healthcare Services, that focuses on Spanish speakers who need IV medications prescribed by doctors for conditions like lupus, multiple sclerosis, encephalitis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
