Tiffany Rosario Perez, M.A., was born in the Santiago province of the Dominican Republic. She arrived in the United States when she was only 10 years of age and grew up in the Bronx, New York. As a young girl, she experienced many challenges that have inspired her to overcome them and encourage others to become the best versions of themselves by seeking to continue to pursue higher education and develop a career. She began this journey when she helped her friends in 2014 with the college application process, and is now the Founder of The Inspired Intellect. She offers virtual services that have allowed her to assist the Hispanic community throughout the United States with their college and financial aid application processes. Secondly, aside from her college counseling services, she also assists with the job search by offering resume and cover letter writing services. She also created virtual platforms by state where she shares employment opportunities and comes across over 600 Hispanics throughout the United States. The goal of The Inspired Intellect is to provide everyone with the opportunity to succeed and achieve their objective in life, whether it is to be knowledgeable about the college and financial aid application process, return to school for the high school equivalency diploma, or revise a resume for an employment opportunity. To make the process even more manageable, she published her book “Tu Camino a la Universidad” (Spanish Version) to educate the community on the effective ways to apply to college successfully. She is also a Co-author on other Spanish written books such as Hispanas Influyentes V.3, Mujeres Que Se Atreven V.5, Top Escritoras 2024, Fuerzas Del Coaching y Speaker Femenino V.2, Women Who Dare and Overcome Limits V.2 (English Version).

Following her college path, she attended John Jay College of Criminal Justice and received her Master of Arts in International Crime & Justice. She is now a Federal Law Enforcement Officer with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security; she could not have made it this far without mentors.
