As an immigrant from Chile, I came to the U.S. at age 11, not speaking a word of English. It was through a wonderful mentor that I was able to be successful in school. I obtained by B.S. in Business and my M.B.A. from CSUN. I was a CEO at age 22 and ran a Security Company with 125 employees. I then owned a restaurant for 5 years and have been an Executive with my current firm (working in various disciplines and roles) for 15 years. I would love to share my story and to encourage kids from diverse backgrounds that anything is possible.
