Workshops, Keynotes, and Training 

Give your team, organization, or group the engaging, effective speaker they deserve. My life has been a wild rollercoaster of achievement, pain, healing, and living out my true purpose that will inspire and motivate! 

Workshop topics include



Interview like a Jefa: A confidence-boosting workshop that teaches you how to own your story, use the STAR method, and interview with presence and power.


Resume Glow Up: An interactive resume-building session designed to help you stand out, even if you're changing careers or returning to work.


Negotiate like a Mother: A workshop that teaches you how to negotiate offers, advocate for raises, and stop leaving money on the table, all from a HR insider's view.





Apply like a Boss: This workshop helps participants stop random scrolling and start applying intentionally. We focus on aligning job search with life, breaking down job descriptions, and organizing applications for success.


Blend not Balance: Instead of chasing unrealistic “balance,” this workshop focuses on integrating your career, wellness, and mami life with intention and flexibility.


Working Mami Success: An uplifting goal-setting and identity workshop to help moms redefine success on their own terms — not hustle culture, not shame culture





I can speak on many topics, like “Land the Job Like a Jefa,” “Career Clarity,” “From Paperwork to Purpose: My Immigrant-to-Jefa Journey,” and “Working Mami, Whole Mujer: Career, Caregiving, and Confidence.” 

Each of these speaking topics offers a clear takeaway and specific advice from a Mexican-American who has been through it all and come out on top. 




My Purpose 


I’m here to help you stop settling and start leading. 

My own journey has been an absolute rollercoaster, but I have accomplished so much that I’m proud of. 

Earning my bachelor’s degree in Business Admin, getting married, becoming a mom to my autism hero CJ, buying my first casita at 25, earning my MBA, becoming a mom again through IVF and chasing my ambition to grow my familia… I’m the walking definition of the American dream. 



But I’ve had my share of heartbreak and sorrow too. I suffered a miscarriage at 10 weeks of my angel Othniel that nearly broke me, and it was in my healing and recovery that I discovered the true purpose of my HR skills and decade of experience:

Helping mujeres and first-gen professionals find and chase their own passion and purpose! 

I love guiding my clients through their own transformations, helping them build their confidence and skills to land dream jobs, negotiate serious raises, and build a career that fits their lives and not the other way around. 

Outside of career coaching, I’ve co-founded a nonprofit, am an active member of Kappa Delta Chi Sorority, Inc., and a community advocate through my church parish. I believe in showing up for our communities and doing the work to help others and make this world a better place.
