Jennifer Borrero

Jennifer Borrero is the daughter of Colombian-Mexican immigrants and is a social impact advocate. As a first-generation American, Borrero teaches others to embrace our cultural heritage while growing a purpose-driven career. Borrero’s North Star has always been her belief that all people deserve to feel cared for, seen, and heard. In a time where individualism is praised, Borrero emphasizes the importance of creating connections and community across cultures in an authentic way.

Her work as a United Nations Ambassador has allowed her to lead projects around the world; from opening a public health clinic in Nicaragua to developing affordable housing communities in the US. She has run programs in the private and public sectors that focus on creating social change. She tells stories of her experience working on international human rights issues and lessons learned along the way.

Borrero has been recognized as an emerging Hispanic Executive receiving the “30 Under 30” award for her work as the founder of Youth Housing Coalition, an organization that aims to empower young people to solve some of the country’s most pressing problems. Her work has been featured on multiple TEDx stages. She is currently a Global Goals Ambassador for the United Nations Association.

Borrero holds a Masters degree in Healthcare Administration from Georgia State University as well as a B.S. in Human Physiology from the University of Oregon.

Borrero’s ultimate goal is to create innovative solutions to global problems while empowering students to show up as leaders in their communities.
