Jeimy Ibarra is one of America’s 30 under 30 award recipients. She is not an entrepreneur by name, but by far one of the best there is. Jeimy was born in Mexico but currently resides in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. At just 24 years old, she has a bachelors in psychology and criminal justice, and she claims that she did not find her career, her career found her and success followed. Jeimy is the youth community outreach coordinator at Casa San Jose. Casa San Jose is a non-profit organization to provide community and resources for the hispanics in the greater Pittsburgh area.

Through her few short years, she has shown her ability to innovate, be creative, reach outside the box, and show that all her efforts are effective. I find her specifically interesting, because the work she has done has made such a large impact in the Hispanic and immigrant community. As a Spanish major, part of my research has shown the growth in the hispanic community in our area, and by way, we have seen an increase in participation at Casa San Jose. Jeimy was able to take her position and create and invent a way to reach more people.
