Who is Luis?
Luis is a remarkable individual with an inspiring journey that began in the bustling streets of Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in a single-parent home with two siblings, life presented its challenges as his parents were separated before he even turned six years old. Moreover, his father became an alcoholic and struggled with substance abuse.
Luis's academic journey took a downturn in High School as he found himself influenced by negative peers, leading him to make choices that weren't conducive to his education. Attendance became an issue, and as a result, his academic performance began to suffer.

Determined to create a better future, he took a decisive step and enrolled in an alternative high school tailored for struggling students.

By reshaping his peer groups and adopting a positive mindset, he began to thrive in his classes. Luis managed to catch up with his classmates and graduate on time, setting his sights on attending college.
Through his hard work and resilience, Luis went on to achieve an extraordinary accomplishment. He landed a prestigious role as a Senior Audio Visual Support Engineer at Twitter, a testament to the power of determination and dedication.

Since then, Luis has devoted himself to making a positive impact on the lives of young people.
