New PAU Alum Juan Gonzalez Inspires with Incredible Perseverance bit.ly/3KnowYV
“I had to figure out how to fill out my FAFSA forms on my own. How to decide which classes to take and how to sign up for them. Looking back, I don’t know how a 17-year-old managed that. I was determined.”
Now, he says, “I love what I do. The smile a patient has when they finally see a Spanish-speaking provider is the most rewarding part of the experience."
Congratulations, DR. Gonzalez!
