Valerie Sanchez

Valerie Sanchez studied International Relations on the Pre-Law track. She was born and raised in Chicago, and her parents are immigrants from Mexico and Colombia. In high school, Valerie became interested in advocacy work and diplomacy on an international scale, and this, with her background and passion for social justice, has pushed her to pursue a career as an attorney. Outside of classes at BU, most of her time on campus is spent working at the Newbury Center, a resource center for first-generation students like herself, and on BU’s Mock Trial team. In her free time, Valerie enjoys photography, reading, and yoga.
