Claudia Meyer is the first female Latina president of Cristo Rey Kansas City.
At the age of fifteen, Claudia moved from her native Brazil to the United States and found herself in a new country, with a new culture, and a new lifestyle knowing just one word in the English language: NO!
But she didn't let that stop her. She quickly learned to say YES to take complete advantage of the opportunities before her. Her story is an inspiration to not just the students, but to everyone who comes in contact with her positive and infectious personality. She lives her life by her motto, “we rise by lifting others,” affectionately known by those around her as “the Meyer Effect”.
Don't miss this incredible conversation about all the ways the Kansas City community is embracing the Cristo Rey corporate work study model to break down barriers for young people across the metro.
