Eric Encarnacion

"This class was filmed in front of a live studio audience"

Hailing from Lawrence MA, and with a strong connection to his Dominican culture, Eric grew up with the idea that life is best lived when sharing stories with others. This led him to pursue a BA in International Studies from Boston College. His education was focused entirely on studying people and their culture and trying to piece together the incredible puzzle around how such a diverse and unique group of people can somehow work together in a globalized world. In his free time, you can find Eric dancing up and down the street, playing with his puppies, or traversing the city of Boston with his camera, looking for the next story to tell.
