Sinopsis

It's a first for this podcast - Trish interviews loooongtime friend, (ahem) Dr. Mariluz Garcia. Trish and Mariluz met as teenagers in Manzanita Dorm at the University of Nevada, Reno. The universe was kind enough to throw a group of gals together in this dorm, who went on to become the best of college pals, creating some life-long memories. Mariluz talks about growing up with a Basque father and Mexican mama, three siblings, a loving Abuela, lots of incredible food, beautiful surroundings, loads of laughs, and so much more. Mariluz went to UNR to become a teacher, but her path changed in the best way. She went on to get her Masters in Counseling and then her PhD in Education. From becoming an Executive Director, to getting a 4-million dollar grant for education... to turning to politics... this interview dances and twirls around 2 old pals catching up, stories of grandmas and food, and writing new chapters in life.
