My passion lies in equipping today's and tomorrow's leaders with the creative application of cutting-edge tools to address complex challenges and drive transformational change. My journey extends across more than a dozen countries, and my fluency in both English and Spanish has allowed me a cultural agility and capacity to connect with leaders and teams on a global scale.

My specialty is executive team development, through highly customized workshops, bespoke engagements and executive coaching.

This global era of change and uncertainty holds both unprecedented challenges and opportunity. My passion is fostering the awareness and capacity for individual and team effectiveness in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) landscape, and adapting to create a future fit workforce, especially including the complex needs of sustainability-focused transformations.

In addition to my role as a transformational facilitator and coach, I'm an accomplished speaker and host, proficient at delivering impactful keynotes, moderating insightful panels, and guiding immersive retreats and conferences, both private and in large organizational contexts.

I collaborate with Dr. Daniel Goleman, renowned emotional intelligence author, scientist and thought leader, to coach coaches and launch and manage online courses for professionals in EI.

This deep knowledge of Emotional Intelligence is foundational for the human-centered design tools I teach at Parsons School of Design - The New School, as part of the Strategic Design and Management department.

Desiring a laboratory to explore the frontier of effective transformation practice, I co-founded the Emergent Leaders Project. Through our academy and incubator, we empower leaders to develop the skills, networks, and resources they need to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond. The Emergent Leaders Project is a "community of practice" at the intersection of inner growth, deep community engagement, societal impact.

Prior to this, I served as a director at the Centre for Social Innovation, an incubator in Manhattan supporting social entrepreneurs and innovators. I've also had the privilege of living in El Salvador for several years, where I led graduate school delegations collaborating with local communities on impactful economic development initiatives.

Forever an avid student, I am usually part of some certification or course and draw from such diverse disciplines as systems thinking and systems constellation work, human-centered design, neurology based emotional intelligence, art-based practices, and somatic and body-based approaches, including yoga teaching and mindfulness teacher certifications. I am also a painter, gardener and ceramicist.
