Guest Bio
Dalia Palsson grew up a first generation Mexican American in Wilmington, CA. Dalia’s mother immigrated from Mexico and worked very hard to raise three children in a one-bedroom apartment. To help pay for rent and food her mother would rent out the living room. Dalia’s mother inspired her hard work ethic and respect for authority (even when they were in the wrong).
In high school, Dalia was a rebellious teenager with purple hair who drove a muscle car. Her career goal at that time was to become a cleaning lady and have babies before age 18.
Her life trajectory changed when she met mentors from EXP Future who convinced her of a better future. With EXP Future she went on field trips and became an intern at the Port of Los Angeles.
Dalia is now a Labor Relations Representative for the Pacific Maritime Association and holds a Juris Doctor degree from Chapman School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA. She is married to a motivating husband with whom she has three wonderful children who strengthen her negotiating skills.
