Luis Lopez
Spanish-American Hoping to Change the World
“My dream is to work at the UN”
|
Luis is 19. He was born in Madrid and grew up in the beautiful city of Avila, in Northern Spain. When he was 9, he moved to Miami with his parents, his two older sisters and his younger brother. He went to public school in Key Biscayne and graduated virtually from MAST Academy in May 2020. He is fluent in English and Spanish and speaks a little bit of French.
Luis has always been interested in politics and would love to work at the United Nations. His key concerns right now are the need to improve the educational system in the US – he thinks very highly of the Finnish model – and all the issues around the impact of climate change. Since July 2020, he has been hosting a podcast called Despierta Tu Mente (“Wake Up Your Mind”) in which he creates content to solve current world problems, discusses lesser-known ideas and subjects and encourages his listeners to take action.
Luis is a Freshman in the Honors Program at Miami Dade College and hopes to be admitted to Georgetown University to continue studying Political Science. For now, he is a Student Government Senator, Secretary of the Model UN Club at the Wolfson Campus at MDC and also works as Congressional Intern for a Florida Congresswoman. Luis is also Junior Branch President of the Children’s International Summer Villages chapter in Miami, responsible for planning and carrying out monthly activities and organizing multiple mosaic projects to help the local community.

citizenM started with an idea to disrupt the traditional hotel industry by creating a luxury hybrid hotel for today’s modern travellers – eliminating the frustrations these travellers shared. A new breed of hotel designed around a new type of traveller – one who values a luxury hotel experience in central city locations, but at an affordable price.
We have our central support office in The Netherlands and opened our first hotel at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in 2008. Now in 2021 we have 21 hotels open in the most exciting cities in Europe, the U.S. and Asia and have 20 more under development including in Miami (Florida).
