Institute at Brown for Environment and Society

José would love to help students navigate their options, share information about resources, and feel supported as they find their place within IBES. He is deeply interested in how economic and policy frameworks can be leveraged to promote sustainability, and this passion has guided both his coursework and real-world experiences. Because José has engaged closely with the Sustainable Development & Governance track, he feels confident sharing insights and helping students understand how it connects to broader environmental and societal challenges. 

One of the most valuable resources José used is the Center for Career Exploration. Early on, he turned to the center for guidance on creating his resume and clarifying career directions when he wasn’t sure what path he wanted to follow. Since then, José has continued to rely on the center for support with job applications, resume updates, and interview preparation. He has also taken advantage of their programs, such as the Careers for the Common Good internship initiative, which connected him with a non-profit internship last winter. These experiences have shown José how impactful Brown’s broader student support services can be, and he enjoys sharing them with peers who might benefit as well.
