Biography

Hola! My name is Jose, and I was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I’m currently doing my second year at Harvard, where I live in Kirkland House. I study Government with a secondary in Educational Studies. Besides being a Coordinator for Harvard College Connection, I’m a singer at the Harvard Glee Club, a consultant for the Behavioral Strategy Group, and work with other organizations like the Program for International Education or the Dominican Students Association. In my free time, I love to promote education and advocate for college access in my country. I also love to sing in harmonies, cook, and spend time with my family and friends. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about college applications, life at Harvard, life in America, or anything else! I benefited from receiving support on my college application path, and I encourage you to do the same. I look forward to supporting you!
