• UndocuStartUp - Juan Maya

  At 21, I landed my dream internship but couldn't be hired due to my status—no DACA. Despite having the skills, I lacked work authorization. Determined to solve this problem, I turned to entrepreneurship. Prior to this, I started a headshot photography business to fund my UCLA education. That's when I realized my future didn't depend on DACA, but on my own determination and effort. Now, I'm helping undocumented students build their futures through PREPARE.
