294 - Be Open to Possibilities with Corina Hierro

Corina Hierro in Cafe con Pam

Listeners, we're back this week with Corina Hierro

Growing up, Corina had big dreams of creating an impact in her community. As a Mexican immigrant, she knew her purpose was to use her talents to amplify Latinx voices to serve others who shared similar backgrounds.

She graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Mass Communications. She went on to work for the biggest Spanish TV networks in the country, Univision and Telemundo, as a bilingual multimedia journalist covering stories that directly affected the Latinx population.

Shortly after the pandemic began, she joined a mission to help the Latinx community in the USA find jobs through technology. Growing up in a low-income household, she knew the importance of access to employment for underserved communities.
