-
- Self-Improvement
The first episode of 2021! Get ready to be inspired by Dr. Gloria Montiel’s unprecedented career that has broken many barriers and paved the way for countless others in her community. She went from undocumented to the ivy league when she beat the odds and got into HARVARD! Back then she was one of the first undocumented students to ever do that.
FIRST: We discuss her educational journey. Gloria shares the sacrifices, tears and hard work that it took to get into the Ivy League. Including the moment she was once told, "Mexican girls don’t go to Harvard.” Against all odds, she proved she could. And she wasn’t done yet.
LATER: She later became the very first undocumented student to graduate from Harvard’s Graduate School of Education master’s program in learning and teaching. Then she made history AGAIN when she became the first undocumented student to get a Ph.D. at Claremont Graduate University.
FINALLY: Gloria shares how she’s using her knowledge, resources, and grant-writing skills to bring in millions of dollars to create opportunities in her Orange County, CA community. You’ll hear how she’s creating opportunities for others like her, by tackling education, health access and community engagement.
AND BONUS: Why the first thing she did after getting her work permit as a HARVARD grad was to apply for a job at McDonald’s!
