Growing up undocumented alongside four sisters, Dr. Zoila D. Escobar says she was not meant to attend school. All of her sisters excelled in school with ease, but she struggled to read. Later as an adult, she was diagnosed with dyslexia and read her first book – cover to cover – at 19. By age 42, she received her BA, and at 52, she earned her master's degree; last year, she earned her doctorate, all while juggling full-time work and parenthood. Join us as Dr. Escobar shares how she persevered to earn her education and what led her to become one of AltaMed's executive leaders and the President of the AltaMed Foundation.
