UndocuStartup Chat with Gabriela Alvarez ($50K ARR)

​Featuring Gabriela Alvarez Torres, Founder of GabulousLA

​Part of the UndocuStartup™ #GiveFirst Campaign

​What does it look like to turn your creativity into a business, and build your own opportunities along the way?

​Join us on October 8th for a FREE conversation with Gabriela Alvarez Torres, a Mexican immigrant, DACA recipient, entrepreneur, and Founder of GabulousLA.

​Gabriela launched GabulousLA in 2019, an e-commerce and retail jewelry business. As a DACA recipient, she started her business with a belief that immigration status does not define someone's potential.

​Before becoming an entrepreneur, Gabriela worked in multiple marketing roles in the beauty and fashion industries after graduating from Cal State Fullerton. She eventually combined her creativity and appreciation for quality craftsmanship to launch her own jewelry brand.

​Today, GabulousLA sells fashion-forward, hypoallergenic, tarnish-free jewelry both online and in person. Gabriela has grown the business through marketing, sales, and building a brand around stylish, high-quality products.

​During this chat, we’ll talk about Gabriela’s journey from college graduate and marketing professional to entrepreneur, including:

• ​Turning an idea into a physical product business

• ​Selling products online and in person

• ​Marketing and growing an e-commerce brand

• ​Navigating the financial and legal side of entrepreneurship

• ​Building your own opportunities as a DACA recipient
