Anthony Romero is a dedicated graduate student pursuing his master's degree at USC. Throughout his academic journey, he has immersed himself in the Human Services field, developing a deep understanding of psychology, sociology, and counseling techniques. Today, he stands as a beacon of support for those in need, but his path to this calling was forged through profound personal transformation.

​

As a teenager, Anthony fell into a destructive lifestyle defined by gang involvement, criminality, and addiction. At 18, he was sentenced to multiple life terms for senseless crimes. For years, he remained entrenched in a negative mentality until he finally chose change.

​

Given a second chance at life in society, Anthony has discovered his purpose in giving back. Now a new father, he is more motivated than ever to create a better world for future generations. With a heart devoted to serving others, he strives to make a meaningful impact by bridging gaps, empowering individuals, and fostering positive change. He embodies the spirit of Nemo resideo, meaning "No one left behind," and the phoenix, rising from the ashes to help others do the same.
