Hola! I’m Marta Estrada—the oldest daughter of first-generation immigrant parents, born and raised in Columbia, SC. My journey has been shaped by self-improvement, confidence, and caring for others—qualities that have molded me into the young professional I am today.

 

Over the years, I’ve developed a strong work ethic through customer service roles, supervising at a cinema, and other labor-intensive jobs. These experiences taught me responsibility, leadership, and the value of perseverance.

 

From a young age, I watched my father sacrifice his time and energy to provide for our family—his dedication, resilience, and hard work are my biggest inspirations. My goal is to give back to him while pursuing my dream of becoming a gynecologist and being the first millionaire in my family. I plan to open multiple practices across the country—and eventually, the world—while also supporting my relatives’ businesses.

 

I’m proud to be bilingual—it’s given me both challenges and opportunities. From moments where people didn’t understand me, to times where language allowed for deep, meaningful conversations, being bilingual has been a superpower. It’s also helped me lead teams early in my career. (And yes—learning Italian, French, and Russian is definitely on my bucket list!)
