David Romero, SJ

Born and raised in southern California, David received a BA in Theology from Loyola Marymount University, where he experienced several opportunities to live a life of faith and justice. These experiences led him to study abroad as a junior with the Casa de la Solidaridad program in El Salvador, which kick-started his discernment to enter the Jesuits upon graduation. He completed his philosophy studies at Fordham University in New York, and is currently in his first year of regency working with the Casa Bayanihan study abroad program in Manila, Philippines. When he isn't trying exotic Filipino foods, or impersonating others, he loves listening to (and fake conducting!) movie soundtracks, singing karaoke, and spending time with friends.
