As a member of the Diversity and Equity Center, Justin provides support to students in a variety of roles, including advising the Equity and Services Council, supporting the Q*Fam Mentoring Program, and developing programs. He has a background in peer education, mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocacy. Additionally, Justin has a passion for exploring the way intersecting identities influence our perception of the world around us and how we can use this knowledge to practice advocacy for marginalized groups we don't belong to.
Off campus, Justin has a love of cooking, podcasts, engaging in popular culture, and spoiling his cats, Gordito and Flaquito. His idea of a great Sunday is filling and wrapping dumplings while binging reality TV. He strongly believes in the power of pop culture as a tool for finding common ground and inspiring empathy for communities that seldom get to tell their own stories."
