JOSE EDUARDO SOLIS LEDEZMA

I was born in the town of Cochabamba, Bolivia and immigrated to the United States at the age of 10. I have been very fortunate over my life and career and was lucky to discover my purpose during my time on this planet very early on in my career (helping people). My first job as a driver and warehouse worker opened my eyes to the possibility of having a career helping other people, which lead to my pursuing a career in non-profits focused on improving the living conditions of people. I have worked for organizations focused on social issues impacting underserved communities in the areas of housing, homelessness, food insecurity, economic development, and as an administrative support team member in the role of senior budget analyst for a policy and advocacy national organization. I am now working as a bartender & server providing excellent customer service as I work to grow my business and make enough money to support housing, food, medical, personally and start up costs for my business.
