Mikel Quintana

I am most excited to be part of a team that helps provide the same opportunities I was lucky to have growing up to students and communities who do not usually have the access. My life has been transformed by these kinds of experiences and I am committed to making them available to as many possible!

Mikel was born in NYC and grew up between Melbourne, Australia and New York. During his junior year of high school, he was an exchange student in Quito, Ecuador and then did a gap year volunteering in Madrid, Spain through the Tufts 1+4 program. Mikel is in his final year of his undergraduate studies at Tufts University, studying International Relations and Anthropology. Mikel got involved with A Leadership Journey as a summer intern helping run the Ubuntu Summer Program in 2020. He has joined our team permanently since then and is working on fostering relationships and opportunities for A Leadership Journey at Tufts and in the greater Boston area.
