Edward Cruz Director Career Education

When I arrived to college in the fall of 1998, I can remember feeling a sense of accomplishment that I made it! However, as the semester continued, this feeling quickly diminished. As a first-generation college student, I began to question if I belonged for a variety of reasons. However, through my perseverance and self-awareness, I quickly learned what I needed to do to become successful. During my sophomore year I became heavily involved on campus and began connecting with faculty and staff. Due to my experience as a first-generation college student, I have a passion for serving and mentoring first-gen students at the University of Miami. Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time serving my local church, capturing moments through photography, playing basketball weekly and raising an energetic and happy toddler, Benjamin, in partnership with my wife Juliana.
