"The Art of Representation Podcast," hosted by Lucia Diaz, invites listeners to a powerful episode featuring Adriana Galvan, a seasoned Human Resources Professional with eight years of experience, primarily in the Manufacturing industry.

Adriana's academic journey, rooted in a commitment to personal and professional growth, includes earning her Associates of Arts in Business Administration from Elgin Community College in 2013, a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resources Management from Judson University in 2016, and a double Masters of Business Administration with concentrations in Human Resources and Business Management from Saint Xavier University in 2019.

Adriana's career trajectory took a transformative turn during her tenure in HR, where she dedicated herself to supporting immigrant and first-generation employees. In her most recent role as an HR Business Partner in the automotive industry, Adriana experienced a layoff herself. However, her focus during this challenging period shifted towards assisting her employees in preparing for their next professional chapter. It was during this time that she recognized a pressing issue - none of her employees were financially prepared for emergencies or layoffs. This realization became the catalyst for the birth of "Adriana Talks Dinero."

Drawing from her own financial journey, Adriana developed a robust strategy for managing her finances. Her achievements include purchasing a home in cash at the remarkable age of 18, diligent investments for early retirement, successfully eliminating over $18,000 of consumer debt, and crafting a life that revolves around living within her means. Her approach involves methodically seeking out the best-valued educational programs and proactively preparing for life's unexpected twists.

Adriana's passion for helping others and her commitment to community improvement are at the heart of Adriana Talks Dinero. Through this platform, she imparts financial literacy education to individuals who might not otherwise have access to resources that empower them to build generational wealth.

As a first-generation Mexican-American, Adriana intimately understands the daily struggles faced by immigrant and blue-collar families, many of which are rooted in financial challenges. She is dedicated to breaking the cycle of generational trauma and societal norms that have hindered progress for individuals in her community. What distinguishes Adriana from other financial education platforms is her unwavering empathy for those who have been excluded from financial literacy resources.

In Adriana's own words, "I have created this privileged life for myself through all of my struggles, it is time to teach the community how to do the same. I cannot keep this wisdom to myself, and Adriana Talks Dinero will change people's lives and create generational wealth for the future. While money doesn't always bring happiness, it will definitely bring so much peace to an individual and family." Her mission is a beacon of hope, offering the promise of financial empowerment, peace, and prosperity to all who seek it.
