Julieta Luevano

Julieta graduated from the University of Denver (DU) with a B.A. in English and Spanish in 2013. She was born and raised in Denver, to where her family migrated from Mexico, and has traveled to various countries, which has broadened her perspective on what it means to be Latin@ in the U.S. After graduating from DU, Julieta spent some time serving as an AmeriCorps member in Denver and later as a volunteer English teacher in Spain for 6 months. Her travels and her and her family’s heritage have influenced her decision to pursue graduate level studies in the Latin American Studies program at Stanford. Her interests include studying intersectional identities and educational policies in the U.S. Latin@ community. In her free time, Julieta enjoys going Latin dancing, reading, spending time with friends and family (a.k.a. eating lots of delicious food), and being outdoors in her native Colorado!
