    Episode 144: Francesco Voltarel, Miami Dade College, Class of 2024

    Francesco Voltarel was born to Italian parents when they were living in the United States. However, he lived his entire life in Italy. After he completed his school in Italy, he took a gap year before entering college. He took an opportunity to move to Miami, where he had family. He spent the next year working several jobs in the hospitality industry, and saved money.

    Instead of returning to Italy, he enrolled at Miami Dade College, where he recently graduated as part of the class of 2024, earning a 4.0 GPA and graduating with the highest honors. While there, he interned at the Ideas Center at Miami Dade College, developing skills, experience, and connections. He also learned from mentors. He was recently accepted to Cornell University, where he will begin work towards his Bachelor's degree this fall. In the meantime he is working a full-time internship at City National Bank in Miami.

    Francesco's story is a true American Dream story that is still in progress. Learn more about his journey here in episode 144 of the Agents of Innovation podcast.
