Celso Torres is a third-year political science student at the University of Florida. Following a pre-law track, Celso is passionate about business law, specifically tax law.
On the political side, Celso is a former intern at the Office of U.S. Senator Rick Scott and a former participant of the American Enterprise Institute Summer Honors Program. In the former, Celso worked with constituent services, participated in community events, and led Capitol tours. In the latter, Celso engaged with students and scholars nationwide on K-12 education issues and possible solutions to them. These previous experiences proved to be fundamental to his perception of the importance of democratic values and their conservation in society.
Additionally, Celso conducted several tours in the historical 1927 Orange County courtroom at the Orange County Regional History Center. Besides sharing the singular characteristics of the courtroom, Celso’s duty was to teach the responsibilities of the U.S. federal government’s three branches and their importance in our democracy. Last but not least, Celso conducted several mock trial simulations with K-12 students.
During his free time, Celso enjoys reading books and studying economics.
