My name is Marcel and I was born and raised in New York City. Both of my parents are immigrants from the Dominican Republic. I feel blessed to have been raised in a city with so much diversity and my passions developed here as well.

MARCEL CONTRERAS

I went to community college and graduated with an associates degree in Early childhood education. I enjoy film photography, traveling, concerts, hanging out with friends, and recently re-discovered wanting to play classical music on the Viola. I also have been collecting fashion publications since I was a kid and enjoy the world of Sanrio.
