Jesus Bueno was born in Peru and graduated from Glastonbury High School. His areas of interest lie in biology and medicine, which he was exposed to as a four year participant in UConn’s Health Career Opportunity Programs (HCOP). Being an HCOP student provided him with medical and dental student mentors, the opportunity to visit the UConn Health Center, and the chance to learn how to take blood pressure and perform suturing techniques. In his free time he enjoys ballroom dancing.
