More About Me

My journey began at 16, when my parents and I migrated from Honduras to the United States. Settling in New York offered new opportunities, and I felt a deep responsibility to make the most of them, especially after witnessing the struggles faced by many, particularly women, in my home country.

​

I focused on my studies and earned a bachelor’s degree in business management with a minor in marketing from SUNY Binghamton in just three years. Although business wasn’t my first choice—journalism or professional writing was—I now appreciate my mother’s wisdom in steering me toward a degree that offered financial stability and prepared me to navigate the unique challenges Latinas face in the professional world.

​

My 25+ year career in corporate America took shape through leadership roles at Citigroup, PwC, and Morgan Stanley. While I encountered obstacles along the way, such as the "broken rungs" on the corporate ladder, my determination pushed me forward. However, I realized that success required more than just perseverance—I needed to embrace my authentic self. Leadership programs, mentors, and coaches helped me refine my skills, expand my network, and overcome limiting beliefs. This journey taught me that embracing my true self was key to breaking barriers and rising as a leader.

​

During this time, I also discovered a passion for coaching and mentoring, especially women and ethnically diverse professionals who felt overlooked or stuck in their careers. Under the mentorship of seasoned coaches and with certification from the Worldwide Association of Business Coaches (WABC), I developed my coaching expertise and deepened my understanding of transformative leadership.

​

In November 2023, I made the bold decision to leave corporate America, driven by a sense of purpose and a desire to create meaningful change. This decision marked the culmination of a career shaped by challenges, growth, and a commitment to positively impact as many lives as possible.

​

My mission is clear: to help leaders tackle talent challenges, lead with purpose, and deliver measurable business results. I envision a future where businesses succeed with a thriving, inclusive workforce, and where future generations see themselves represented at every level of leadership.
