Blueprint for the Dreamers, Breaking Barriers, Amy Aldana: UCLA Educated, Harvard Empowered, Unstoppable From Community College to Harvard: A Blueprint for the Dreamers
We were incredibly lucky—and truly blessed—to have Amy Aldana (spelled A-L-D-A-N-A) join us on the Buckle Up Podcast Universe with Brandon Rush and Mama Rush.
Brandon has known Amy for over a decade, and her journey is nothing short of phenomenal. She joined us to talk about overcoming every obstacle, and how determination, vision, and purpose can carry you further than you ever imagined.
Amy began her academic journey at Fullerton College, where she earned her Associate of Arts (AA). She then transferred to UCLA, graduating with her Bachelor’s degree (BA) and top honors. From there, she took her ambitions even higher—earning her Master’s in Education (M.Ed.) from Harvard University.
Not only did she attend Harvard, but she also worked in admissions, giving her rare insight into what elite schools are truly looking for.
Amy’s episode is filled with wisdom and practical guidance for:
- Students aspiring to attend top universities
- Parents navigating the college process with their kids
- Anyone seeking to rise above their circumstances and reshape their future
She speaks directly to dreamers—whether you’re aiming for UCLA, Harvard, Chapman, or anywhere in between. Her advice is real. Her path is inspiring. And her heart is undeniable.
Amy Aldana is a true example of what happens when you believe in yourself and never stop climbing. We’re honored to have her as part of the Buckle Up family.
