Julio Leiva

I am extremely passionate about cities. This may seem kind of aloof, but a city, to me, is more than just a place where tall buildings and hot dog carts can be found. It is also a place where, if only by chance you may bump into someone you know. People from all different walks of life, some good, some bad, some in between. So what might this have to do with me, well for starters I am in an Urban Planning Masters program; but in addition to that I grew up learning from my city, "the little apple," Jersey City. Aside from my interest in cities, I like listening to all sorts of music, dancing Spanish music (merengue bachata salsa), going to the movies, going out to new restaurants and meeting new people. I also enjoy going to the gym and playing soccer.
