Episode 134: Claudia Jakubzick - Immunologist

Failing Forward

Claudia Jakubzick grew up in south Florida, the second daughter of Peruvian immigrants. Her childhood was filled with fun and love, then later partying and parental neglect. She graduated from high school with a third-grade reading level, but she was determined to not be a “loser.” On episode 134, Claudia shares how she found the will to forge a new path for her future. She pursued her childhood passion for science, and today, she is an associate professor within Dartmouth’s Department of Microbiology and Immunology. She tells Sarah about her relationship with her parents today and how she, in turn, parents her three children.
