Strength From Our Differences
My name is D’Angelo Perez and I’m a proud Arizona native, born and raised in Mesa. I am currently a Junior at ASU, majoring in Political Science while pursuing minors in Sociology and French. My ultimate ambition is to delve into the world of foreign policy and diplomacy, through non-profit organizations or the U.S. Department of State. Alongside my academic pursuits, I am profoundly passionate about helping my community, which has inspired me to become an activist and organizer dedicated to advancing racial justice and fostering interfaith harmony. Within this context, I proudly serve as a student leader within the NAACP and the Arizona Faith Network. In addition to my advocacy work, I also hold the position of president of my church’s student association on campus.
Beyond my academic and community commitments, I find joy in music, especially when it involves Latin dancing and playing the piano. Spending quality time with my family is an invaluable part of my life, and I’m endlessly curious, always searching for new knowledge and experiences.
