Evelyn Jessie Arrestegui grew up in Cajamarca, a small town in northern Peru. From a young age, Evelyn was taught the value of giving, her parents use to say, “No matter how little you have, there’s always someone with less”. As a teenager, she began working and quickly found joy in financial independence, learning how to manage both her time and money. These early experiences fueled her determination to build a better life not only for herself but also for her family and community.

In 2001, Evelyn graduated from Inca Garcilaso de la Vega University with a Doctorate in Dentistry. She immediately began offering free dental care to underserved communities, driven by her passion for helping others feel confident in their smiles and empowering them to chase their dreams.

At the age of 40, as a single mother, Evelyn made the courageous decision to move from Peru to the United States to give her daughter greater opportunities. The journey wasn’t easy, navigating a new language, culture, and country brought many challenges but she faced them with resilience and determination.

After arriving in the U.S., Evelyn shifted her career path and stepped into the real estate industry. She attended Gold Coast Schools and went on to launch her own real estate company in 2018.

Today, Evelyn blends her background in dentistry with her personal journey of reinvention to inspire others. She wants to show people that it does not matter where you start, and that it’s never too late to start over because with confidence and perseverance, dreams really can become reality.
