Education was the route to success for Jose Luis Torrez. As he continued to climb the education ladder he decided to reach new heights by obtaining his Doctorate degree in Education. He is passionate about community engagement and as a past college advisor, he has helped hundreds of students (including DACA and undocumented students) by advising them on their education journey. He is involved in local politics and civic engagement because he understands the importance of Latinx getting involved in politics and having proper representation.
