Jarrell Velasquez

I attended Galen from 2011 – 2016 and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing.

From there I moved to Asia where I worked as a professional basketball trainer, player and model.

My career is centered around those three professions. Since 2019, I’ve added commercial acting to my resumé, also, I’m the founder and owner of JBV Enterprises. A brand that I’m proud of. One that promotes Just Being Victorious (JBV) in every aspect of life, regardless of the circumstances.

I try my best to give back to the community that shaped me. Whether it’s putting up basketball hoops around the city, throwing basketball tournaments, or doing school tours to do my part in helping to steer the younger generation in the right direction.

I try to make an impact in whatever community I’m at. Understanding that I’m now in this position because of the ones who gave back and impacted the community in a positive way when I was growing up.

My Galen experience was instrumental in where I am today. Learning the importance of an education, the power of marketing, the networking opportunities that it has created, and the leadership qualities I was able to gain.

I think it’s safe to say having a Galen education is the backbone of who I am today. I’m a proud alumni.
