MY BIO

Hello and pleasure to meet you! I am pleased to share some of my background and look forward to exploring how we might work together.

I am a professional certified coach, leadership trainer, and organizational change facilitator. For more than twenty years, I have worked with leaders and teams in nonprofits, governments, philanthropy, and mission-driven businesses  to build inclusive and inspired workplace cultures that maximize the power of the group towards real results. . I love supporting leaders and teams  to courageously unite through truth-telling, mutual support, compassionate accountability, and re-defining leadership.

I have taught emerging coaches at Leadership that Works, one of the only coach training programs to focus on both personal transformation and systemic change, facilitated a course on Interpersonal Dynamics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business from 2018 – 2020 and have been part of the teaching team at Compasspoint Nonprofit Training Center from 2016-2025. My signature program, the “Authentic Solidarity Leadership Program” brings leaders together from the social change sector to explore and strengthen how they can both connect with and express the most authentic version of themselves, while simultaneously taking a stand for others.  

I am a proud fourth generation Bay Area baby, am passionate about the arts, and became fully bilingual in Spanish starting with a trip to my paternal grandfather’s homeland in Andalusia, Spain while in college. Intercultural awareness, learning from human history, seeing and sharing power, and coming together in collective action fuels me every day.
