Today on the DACA Series, I get to connect with Alba Jean, a Registered Nurse from Chicago, and feature her story as an ICU nurse whose journey getting there was full of bumps in the road. Growing up as an undocumented child, Alba had no idea that not having a social security would prevent her from being able to go to College and even more from being able to get a job. In her episode, Alba shares about the uncertainty she faced as an undocumented adult only being able to receive DACA at 25 and be able to jump start her career in the medical field. We discuss the obstacles being an undocumented professional, the anxiety of DACA renewals, and even Alba losing her nursing job after her DACA expired before receiving a renewal. Take a listen and enjoy hearing this overcoming story featuring que con ganas y esfuerzo TODO SE PUEDE!
