Juan Pablo Sanchez served as the DECA North Atlantic Region Vice President during the 2014-2015 school year.
Since then, he has earned his BSPH from the University of South Florida College of Public Health. Born in Colombia, Juan is a public health professional pursuing a Master of Public Health at USF. Growing up in Easton, Pennsylvania, as the proud son of hard-working immigrant parents, Juan is motivated to end the cycle of poverty in his family through his pursuit of higher education. The trajectory of his life was transformed when he became the recipient of the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship, a ten-year full-ride scholarship for his bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees in public health at any American accredited university.
