After graduating from IE University, Christian is working in New York as a Communications Analyst at Milltown Partners, a global advisory firm that works with innovative tech companies and venture capital firms on strategic communications and public policy challenges. Christian served as Vice-Chair of the Undergraduate Senate at UNC, where he helped lead the effort that led to the removal of the Confederate monument on campus. He also championed an initiative to create a Latinx Center at the university for Hispanic students, authoring and securing the passage of a student government resolution for the establishment of the center. The Board of Trustees approved creation of the center in 2018. Mentors and mentorship are important to him. His degree from IE provided him a more nuanced understanding to the intersection of public, private and nonprofit approaches to problem-solving that will help advance a career in corporate responsibility, policy and government. Soft-spoken, enthusiastic and thrilled at the opportunity offered by the Eisenhower Global Scholars Program, Christian worked as a Fellow at DLA Piper in Chicago and as a communications intern at Precision Strategies, a consultant firm in Washington, D.C. He wants to focus on the structural inequalities in health care in the United States that have resulted in the disproportionately high death tolls from the Covid-19 pandemic for African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities. Gaining knowledge “in international organization and business as well as politics….will equip me to handle the most pressing socio-legal concerns of the 21st Century,” he wrote in his application.
