I was born in La Ciudad Corazon, Santiago, Dominican Republic. I am a senior at Columbia College double majoring in Hispanic Studies and Sociology and interested in pursuing a career in Criminal Law. I love classics bachatas and merengues and I definitely love Juan Luis Guerra, Anthony Santos, Aventura and many others. I love all Dominican dishes especially Sancocho and take pleasure in cooking them as well.  I enjoy dancing, learning, reading and exploring new places. I’m very proud to be Dominican and someday I would like to give back to my community in Santiago and get involved in the Dominican government.

I am currently attending Barnard College. I am Pre-Med but I plan to major in Spanish and Latin American Cultures. I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY. Both of my parents are Dominican, and so although I was born in the US I feel as Dominican as can be. My family is from Santiago. When it comes to music I absolutely love Aventura! I also enjoy listening to Juan Luis Guerra. My favorite Dominican dish is Mangu con salami, although I have to say quipes and pastelitos are also at the top of my list!

 

I was born in Elmhurst, Queens but moved to Santiago, Dominican Republic after 3 months. I came back to the states at the age of 7 and again resided in Elmhurst with my grandma, my mom and my older brother.  I am a Junior in The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science studying Civil Engineering with a concentration in Structural Engineering. There is nothing that can compare to old school Bachateros like Luis Vargas, El Mayimbe Anthony Santos or even Frank Reyes just to name a few. Dancing is my way of life, through dance I am able to let everything go and just enjoy myself. Nothing hits the spot better after a long night of dancing like a Chimichurri!

I am studying at Barnard planning to major in either Psychology or Spanish and Latin American Cultures and pursue a career in Medicine. I was born and raised in Queens, New York. I have family from both Moca and San Jose de Las Matas. One of my favorite things to do is explore new places therefore I hope to have more opportunities to visit the Dominican Republic. I love many Dominican dishes especially Pastelon de Platanos Maduros. I love bachata, there's nothing like the classics. I enjoy listening to anything from Aventura to Anthony Santos and Zacarias Ferreira.

I am a senior at Columbia College majoring in Film Studies. I was born in Salcedo, La Provincia de las Hermanas Mirabal and raised in the South Bronx. I love dancing bachata and merengue, and mangu con queso frito y cebolla are a given. I hope to one day help develop Dominican cinema and maybe one day become president of the Republic.

My family is from San Juan, Puerto Rico and the United States. I was born in San Diego, California and moved to New York City to pursue my higher education at Barnard College. I am a senior with a major in Spanish and Latin American Cultures, and a minor in Sociology. My favorite places to visit in the Dominican Republic are Samaná and Puerto Plata. Some of my favorite Dominican foods are tostones, yuca, mangú, and empanadas. Reggaeton, R&B, and Merengue are three genres of music I can’t live without. I love to dance different styles of dance, including hip hop, bachata, modern, merengue, and tap. Last but not least, I enjoy traveling and experiencing different cultures.

My family is from Moca, Republica Dominicana. I was born in Santiago, Republica Dominicana, which is about a thirty minute drive from Moca. I grew up in the Bronx, right by Fordham. I like to go shopping, dancing, and just explore the secrets of NYC. I'm a Senior at Barnad College. I'm an Urban Studies major with a concentration in Environmental Science. I'm also part of the Education program at Barnard. I enjoy listening to Johnny Ventura, Aventura, and Tono Rosario. Old schools songs like "El Venao" and "El Perrito" always make me happy. I LOVE sancocho and mofongo!!
