Jose Atencio

Aspiring copywriter studying Marketing / Advertising at Columbia College Chicago.

Originally from Maracaibo, Venezuela, I moved to the United States at the early age of four with my family. I spent my entire childhood and teenage years living in Miami. There I soaked up the vibrant melting pot of cultures and life experiences that only a city like Miami could provide. However, right out of high school I decided to leave home for college, a feat no one in my family had the opportunity to have had done so.

Cut to me, studying in Chicago at Columbia College. Here I dove into my marketing studies and cultivated an appreciation and understanding to what it takes to communicate creatively, something I have an undeniable natural instinct for.
