Welcome to the MíraLA Podcast - a podcast by women, for women and anyone willing to listen. Hosted by Arianna Lemus.
Episode 6: Arianna interviews Jess Melgar Alvarez. Jess is a first-generation Latina of Salvadoran descent, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. In this interview, Jess talks about her journey leading up to her career as an attorney, the adventures of motherhood and the mental struggles we face as women.
Jess Melgar Alvarez is a labor and employment attorney that specializes in benefits and union work. Jess earned her undergraduate degrees in English and Political Science from UC Davis. She later earned her law school degree from McGeorge School of Law. As an attorney, Jess champions for workers rights in the workplace, ranging from wage and hour violations, sexual harassment, and violations of worker’s rights to unionize.
When she is not busy running after her toddler, Jess is running for fun, reading, diving into her faith, or fulfilling her love of writing. Fun Fact: She met her now husband in a meet-cute at work.
