Sometimes we don’t realize how far we’ve come until we stop and look back.
I’m incredibly honored to be featured in Bold Journey Magazine, where I had the opportunity to share my story—from growing up in Bolivia, to building a new life in the United States, earning my Master’s in Education, overcoming a significant health challenge, and following my dream of founding Bridge Academy Cincinnati.
This interview isn’t just about me. It’s about the people who believed in me, encouraged me, and reminded me that every challenge can become an opportunity to grow.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my mother, Cecilia León, who dedicated her life to the success and happiness of her children. Her love, sacrifices, and unwavering belief in us have been the foundation of everything I have accomplished.
To my family in Bolivia, thank you for always cheering me on, no matter the distance. Your love has always been with me.
To my wonderful mother-in-law, Donna Purcell, thank you for being my greatest source of support during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. Your kindness, encouragement, and constant presence during my illness meant more to me than words can express.
And to my husband, thank you for walking beside me through every challenge and every celebration. Your love, patience, and unwavering support have made this journey possible. I love you.
Thank you as well to my friends, students, parents, colleagues, and everyone who has supported Bridge Academy Cincinnati. Your encouragement has helped shape not only my journey but also the mission of serving families through bilingual education.
If you’d like to learn more about my story and the mission behind Bridge Academy Cincinnati, I’d love for you to read the interview.
