Oscar Gutierrez

Oscar was born in Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico, though his roots run deep in Belize, both of his parents are Belizean, and it was only natural that he would follow them back to their home. He grew up on the beautiful island of San Pedro before moving to the town of Orange Walk for high school, where he still resides today. From an early age, Oscar felt a strong pull toward helping others. His childhood ambition was to become a Psychiatrist, with a dream of eventually specializing in Abnormal Psychology.

In pursuit of his goals, Oscar studied at St. John’s College Junior College for four years, where he earned not one but two associate degrees, one in Fine Arts and one in Psychology and Sociology. He was far from just a student, though. Oscar stayed deeply involved in campus life, participating in environmental conservation clubs like Oceana and GECCO, as well as student-centered organizations like the Big Brother Club and Peer Helping. After graduating, he worked part-time at his family’s restaurants while also seizing an opportunity to gain professional experience as a work-from-home clerk.
