This year he became an Hermano (Brother) of La Unidad Latina, Lambda Upsilon Lambda Fraternity, Incorporated in hopes of getting more involved with community service in New Haven. He also works as a Recruitment Coordinator at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, a Trumbull College Master’s Aide and has served on the executive board of De Colores, an LGBTQ organization that focuses on LGBTQ Latin@ issues.
He is interested in researching the divisions between West Hollywood and East Los Angeles and exploring the resources that LGBTQ people have in the predominantly Latin@ neighborhoods of East Los Angeles. After graduation, he hopes to work in California before continuing his higher education. He would like to one day work in public policy. His hobbies include running with his iPod, exploring new restaurants, listening to people’s life stories and photography. He may be reached through his Linkedin Profile.
