On this episode of the Latinas with Masters Podcast, Christina delves into the inspiring journey of Laura Walker, M.Ed., a resilient Mexicana born in Mexico and raised in the U.S. from the tender age of 2. Laura's committment to education, instilled by her mother, drove her to promise her mother that she would graduate high school- a promise she steadfastly kept, earning a perfect 4.0 GPA. Married to her best friend, a dedicated United States Marine, Laura is not only a loving mother of two but also a dedicated scholar.

Amidst the challenges of military life, Laura pursued her academic ambitions, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland University College while residing in Japan. Laura continued to demonstrate her unwavering determination by embarking on a Master's program in Elementary Education at Grand Canyon University. While completing her final course in her program, she experiences a health crisis when she experienced kidney failure, forcing her to pause her pursuit of a Master's degree. In a pivotal moment, her sister emerged as her hero and savior, selflessly donating her kidney. This act of love and sacrifice enabled Laura to resume her Master's program and ultimately complete her final course, earning her well-deserved Master's degree.
