I am a leadership and executive coach, facilitator, and trainer.
I empower Latinas and other women of color to shift their beliefs, embrace their unique leadership style, and increase their emotional intelligence to find fulfillment personally and professionally.
Prior to starting my practice, I was involved in public health at the national level for 15 years, working for national organizations (the Association of Maternal & Child Health Programs, National Association of County and City Health Officials, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) representing county, state and territorial maternal and child health programs as well as local governmental public health agencies.
I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation and a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through the Coaches Training Institute. I have completed wellness coach training and am a Certified Resilience to Thriving Coach through Real Balance Global Wellness Services, Inc. Additionally, I am a Team Coaching Foundation Certified Coach through the Global Team Coaching Institute.
Equity and trauma-informed coaching are central to my work. I am an Equity Centered Certified Coach and Leader through the Institute for Equity Centered Coaching and a Trauma Informed Certified Coach (TICC) through Moving the Human Spirit. I provide individual coaching and facilitate 360 assessment feedback processes.
As a certified practitioner of multiple leadership assessment tools—including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), EQ-i2®, and The Leadership Circle™—I help individuals and teams gain deeper self-awareness and enhance their leadership capabilities. I am also a trained in-person and virtual facilitator through Technology of Participation (ToP).
In addition to my coaching and facilitation work, I co-lead the Black, Brown, Indigenous, and People of Color (BBIPOC) Community of Practice and the Professional Development Workshops for the national ToP Network membership.
I earned a Master’s in Public Health from The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services, with an emphasis in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, and am a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES). I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Boston University.
