Yearim De Leon

Yearim is a senior studying Public Policy and Management Science and Engineering. Originally from Mexico, he has grown to call Salt Lake City, UT home. Growing up Yearim was always been interested in solving problems--whether it be solving disputes on the playground to solving mathematical theories in class. This led him to work with Comunidades Unidas on immigration issues all throughout high school. In college, he continued working to solve social problems, but now added a business lens to combine his passion with what he's learning in class. Now as a senior, Yearim has enjoyed working in consultative roles at Facebook and TikTok, where he personally helped businesses grown and succeed on both platforms. Yearim is excited to work with Professor Peter Glynn and hopes to bring his enthusiasm and expertise to solve research problems. When he's not busy, you can find him on campus dancing to music with friends, zig-zagging his bike thru palm trees, and basking in the California sun!
