Coming into the US already presents its own cultural and language problems. Coming from South America can make things a bit more challenging due to stereotypes and personal insecurity. However, being a latina woman from Peru in the US technology industry and starting her own company is a whole different matter. Today’s guest did just that.
Sandra LaPlante is a Latina engineer in tech, an immigrant advocating for minorities, and an idealist. After struggling to pass her programming class and not being able to afford a private tutor in the US, she had to “go back to her roots” and find help in Peru, where tutoring was more affordable. That’s when she had the idea to start her current business, Papaya Tutor.
