In this episode of the Say Hola Wealth Podcast, Luzy sits down with Dr. Christina, a first-generation Latina scientist, veteran, and creator of Running on Science, to discuss how she broke into STEM against all odds.

From growing up in La Puente, CA, navigating grief and financial struggles, to joining the military, returning to school with the GI Bill, and cold-emailing her way into a research lab, Dr. Christina shares what it really looks like to pursue a STEM career as a Latina. She also opens up about her work studying traumatic brain injuries, her love for running and travel, and why her definition of wealth is deeply tied to freedom and time.

If you’re a first-gen Latina thinking about STEM, career pivots, or redefining what’s possible for you, this conversation will give you both inspiration and permission to dream bigger.
