Rodrigo’s story starts in Mexico, where he was born. His father, an engineer with work opportunities in the US, first brought Rodrigo to the US when he was about four. They crossed the US / Mexico border countless times as a kid, and that was Rodrigo’s first experience going through immigration.
Since 2004, Rodrigo’s been working with the immigrant community. At NYU as a researcher, at a nonprofit supporting NYC’s immigrant community, for the city of New York supporting minority-owned businesses, and eventually Immigration Advocates Network (IAN), which became Justicia Lab when he came on as a Director and turned it into a pro bono legal tech incubator.
So, here’s what we’re going to talk about on this episode:
🔹Rodrigo’s family’s immigration journey, growing up in two countries, and how that impacted him
🔹How Rodrigo’s experience at NYU, and how he landed his first job helping immigrants
🔹Rodrigo’s career journey in the public and public-adjacent sector, and how he came to IAN
🔹How IAN evolved into Justicia Lab, what it does today, and where Justicia Lab is heading
And more!
