Official portrait of the Consul General

Omara Josiel Corporán Castillo

Consul General of the Dominican Republic in Chicago

A graduate of the Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) with a law degree, Corporán complemented her education with studies in criminal justice and diploma programs in international business and global diplomacy from the University of New Mexico. She has also completed specialized programs in executive management, public speaking and leadership, and digital competence at institutions such as FUNGLODE, EFEC, CAES, and the Euro-American Interuniversity Network.

Her experience at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) strengthened her knowledge of multilateral diplomacy, collaborating with international organizations such as UNESCO, WHO, FAO, IFAD, WFP, PAHO, and IICA in the coordination and follow-up of international policies.

At the international level, Corporán has held leadership roles as Head of Internal Affairs for the Global Network of Young Politicians, Director of Education and Awareness for the Latin American Delegation, and participated as part of the COPPPAL International Electoral Observers Commission in missions to Guatemala, El Salvador, and Ecuador.

Her youth leadership and commitment to public service are also reflected in her work as a political advisor and communicator, with recognized participation in national media. She has also promoted social action projects through nonprofit movements and volunteer organizations such as Un Techo para mi País.

Fluent in English, French, and Spanish, Corporán symbolizes the new generation of Dominican diplomats committed to transparency, cooperation, and strengthening ties with the diaspora. Her appointment marks a significant step toward a more inclusive, youthful, and participatory diplomacy aligned with the values of the Dominican Government and its vision of a modern state.
