We are in the process of shooting a video that will highlight stories of successful immigrants and the traits that they bring to their workplace. Camila and Robert Jacobs, professional videographer, prepare for our first shoot here! Camila came to the U.S. when she was seven years old from Uruguay and did not speak English. She jumped right into school and learned English with the help of ESL classes. She has worked hard to become a US citizen, has a beautiful family and a professional position with a Fortune 500 company. We look forward to sharing her full story soon!
