This week Marcella Rodriguez interviews Fabio Peña of Peña & Co. Fabio talks about growing up in Washington as the middle child of 3 boys, immigrating from Guadalajara, Mexico at a young age. He shares his ambitions to major in Business and attend the University of Washington. Although he did end up attending the University of Washington, he was rejected from the business program. He was forced to find an alternate major that still tied him back to his chosen career. He shares the highs and lows of his early career trajectory and how he is now finding his place in an industry that has not always represented the Latinx community. He shares his passion for dance and his wife's support through his journey. They finish by talking about how his consultation business is looking to highlight unfiltered and transparent stories of first-generation students. Thank you for listening!
