Originally from Colombia, Isabel Saavedra is an immigration attorney who moved to the United States in 1998. As the sister of our very own chief marketing officer at Driven Society, Natalia Saavedra, both Isabel and Natalia’s parents decided to leave Colombia to pursue a better future in the states for their children.

Throughout college, Isabel always debated whether she wanted to be a social worker or an attorney. Due to this, she started to become very involved politically. By her junior year of college, Isabel knew that she wanted to become an attorney in an effort to help more people.

In this episode of our Driven Minds Podcast, Isabel talks with us about becoming an attorney, working for the Cara Pro Bono Project, and the inhumane business practices behind the detainment of immigrants.
