Annie Lambert by Geneva Reyes

Annie Lambert


Annie Lambert came to the United States when she was 21 years old after she graduated as a nutritionist. She worked at McDonald's when she came here, but later on became an administrator in a Surgery Center. Lambert is my "auntie", but also my boss. I grew to know her because she is my brother's best friend's mother. I look up to her as a role model and an inspiration because of the struggle she faced to get to where she is right now. She begins to tell her story by introducing us to her life in the Philippines.
