Jose Arellano Ordaz

On-Campus and International Admissions Counselor

I was born in the city of Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico and moved with my family to Boulder, Colorado at a very young age. I graduated from Fairview High School in 2019, then started my undergraduate studies at MSU Denver. I majored in marketing, and also earned a digital marketing certificate from the College of Business, ultimately finishing my degree in 2023. I like working with students and their families because I know how life-changing a college education can be and I want to help make higher education more accessible for everyone. In my free time, I like to bake, practice graphic design, learn new languages, hang out with my friends, play video games, and adventure into the mountains with my dogs, Princess and Thalia. I look forward to connecting with you!
