Testimonial

J Acaron

“I take pride on being an AARP employee, and it is hard not to talk about my job when I am with friends or with my family. AARP is a lifestyle; it is not a job. I tell my friends that I live my passion of serving and creating a better future for all every day of my life. AARP is about the people and for the people. I understand that I have a family much bigger than I had previously, because all the members in Puerto Rico are part of my social scope.”
