I am a rising senior double majoring in International & Global Studies, Latin American & Latinx Studies, with a minor in Business. In my free time, I love to listen and dance to Spanish music. As a UDR I want to be a supportive resource for anyone interested not only in the LALS program but has any questions in studying abroad, career fields, opportunities off/on campus. I hope to connect with many students!

Hello, my name is Arlett Marquez and I am a senior at Brandeis University. My major is African and African American studies and my minor is Latin American and Latino Studies. I am excited to be one of the UDRs for the LALS department this year!
