Summary
🎓
Top SchoolNelson De Witt is a writer and storyteller with eight years of professional experience and nearly two decades of published work spanning personal essays, how-to books, and full-length narratives. Born Roberto Coto and reunited with his Salvadoran birth family after the civil war, he now channels that lived experience into an autobiographical novel and a documentary, Identifying Nelson/Buscando a Roberto, for which he also manages business and marketing. He combines creative practice with technical chops—running Coto.Studio to host and maintain sites for creatives using Linode servers, WordPress, and Ghost—and previously built Ruby on Rails systems that tripled a small business’s revenue. A sought-after speaker and media contributor, his story has appeared on BBC World Service, The Christian Science Monitor, and numerous academic stages including Yale and Dartmouth. He also coaches and grows youth leadership through varsity and middle school Ultimate Frisbee, bringing mentorship and program-building skills to his community. Notably, his work blends investigative storytelling with hands-on tech and operations experience, enabling him to shepherd projects from research to public impact.
