Oscar Gallegos
The Woke Lender
Junior Loan Officer.
Oscar personifies the virtuous serenity and palpable patience of an elephant, and for the past two years he has graciously spread these principles amongst the team at Trust The Beard. A noteworthy source of his demeanor are his years of consumer support experience working in two of the largest cell phone carriers in the nation. His tactful ability to navigate through volatile situations and conversations is one of his most prized assets —in addition to being an aptitude that makes the loan process a more efficient, transparent, and enjoyable experience for all parties involved.
Human
After an unprecedented migration to the United States right before starting his university studies in Mexico, Oscar had to persevere through a steep language barrier and an intimidating culture shock. Since the move took place at a pivotal point in his life, however, his preeminent obstacle was reframing the dreams and future plans he had for himself and his family. Fortunately, Oscar acquiesces to the belief that “luck is always on the side of the underdog”, so he persisted and found a way to utilize financial literacy to help his and other immigrant families establish a solid foundation in the U.S.
Oscar’s golden motivation is his two-year-old daughter. It is because of her and other remarkable women in his life that he focuses on empowering female-led households, especially of women in the healthcare industry as he spent significant time with them working at various non-profit organizations.
Oscar is billingüal, tech savvy, patient, and understands people’s intrinsic motivations. Due to his high level of self-awareness and openness to knowledge that tests his understanding of conventional wisdom, Oscar strives to help raise kundalini through home ownership.
Oscar’s Three Pillars:
self-development | community advocacy | financial literacy
Self-Development
Oscar’s migration to the United States at age 18 dragged with it a wave of increasingly overwhelming barriers, sometimes cultural and other times intrapersonal. It was this experience that has greatly inspired and directed his self-development journey the past few years. Today, Oscar focuses on batleling and unlearning misinformation, seeking out larger and more diverse perspectives, and working towards making non-traditional information more accessible to others. He honors his self-development journey by nurturing relationships with people who are opened to the topics of consciousness and other practices.
Community Advocacy
Oscar’s curiosity drives him to constantly seek out new knowledge. In the future, he plans to fund a nonprofit organization with the purpose of substituting deeply rooted empirical knowledge with conscious knowledge, thus promoting and celebrating people's curiosity to know and understand themselves and the world better.
Financial Literacy
Oscar understands the need of accessible financial literacy knowledge amongst underrepresented groups. He strongly believes that it should be something children are exposed to at an early age because that is what he would have wanted for himself and his family.
