Re-Writing My Own American Dream With Laura

Welcome to episode 43 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time! Today’s guest is Laura Fortuna. She is a financial coach for immigrants, and she provides educational information about finances in Spanish on Instagram. Laura was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to Switzerland when she was three years old. She and her mom then moved back to DR, and eventually, she moved to the US Virgin Islands when she was 18 years old. After two years of college in the US Virgin Islands, Laura continued her education in Massachusetts. She studied accounting and received her master's of science in taxation. This led her to start her own financial coaching business after realizing she had to re-write her American Dream! Listen to Laura’s story on how she changed her American Dream.
