Hello and welcome to my portfolio site! My name is Brian Aguilar Avila and I am a doctoral student in the CUNY Graduate Center’s Urban Education PhD program. I am a proud two-time CUNY alumnus and work as an Administrative Specialist/Program Administrator in the Biomedical Engineering Department at The City College of New York.

During my upcoming first year of doctoral studies, I will be working alongside Associate Professor Ariana Mangual Figueroa. Honing in my skills gained from my engineering undergraduate degree and institutional research specialization during my graduate studies, I am also a Data Analysis research specialist at CUNY-IIE.

Originally from Argentina, I chose to pursue a career in Education since as a first-generation student I have personally seen the benefits of social mobility of higher education, making me a staunch advocate for a college degree. I hope to thrive in the field using institutional research for institution- and industry-wide reform. My success can be attributed to my path thus far, the education CUNY provided me, and the opportunities that have come my way.
