Joseph (Joe) Ambrosino is a 4th year student at the University of South Florida studying Political Science and History with a minor in Psychology. Joseph has a strong interest in the connections between African-American history, mental health, and antiquity. Through this, he has created USF's very first Black Wellness Club; a student organization dedicated to bridging psychological concepts and research to the black experience in America. His passion for history, and more importantly people, led him to be awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to participate in the Black Humanities Institute at the University of Bristol. 

His academic pursuits include participation in the Summer for Undergraduates program at Florida State University College of Law, and active roles in the Mock Trial and Debate teams.

Through these skills, Joseph has a firm draw to examine how marginalized communities and traditional ideas of justice and injustice are remediable. One of Joseph’s outlets for this curiosity is involved as the social outreach chair in Stonecatchers, a student organization focused on building more empathetic leadership in all walks of life, and as the Co-Editor-in-Chief for Thread Magazine where he leads a team of five editors to design semesterly literary exhibitions.

In his free time, Joseph practices the piano for his church, skateboards with his brother back home in Lakeland, and helps out with the Judy Genshaft Honors Choir as both Secretary and Bass.
