Hello everyone, my name is Gustavo Castro and this is my first semester at Baruch. I completed my undergrad over at John Jay majoring in Public Administration and minoring in English. Currently, I work in the Admissions department in LaGuardia Community College. I have no idea what I would like to specialize my MPA in, but I am leaning towards the public management track.
Working in the Admissions department I see first hand how students try to navigate the maze that higher education can be, and that has made me rethink my professional aspirations. Perhaps I can focus my efforts to get earn a position within higher education where I can directly help students.
Fun fact about me: My dad, brother and I are intrinsically tied to the number 7. My father was born Sept 7th, and his first two born sons (my brother and I) were born on the 7th month of the year (July) on the 25th and 16th respectively, and both 1+6 and 2+5 add up to 7.
