Hi there, and welcome! I'm truly so happy you're here. Whether you’re a fellow career pivoter, an educator looking for a change, or just someone who stumbled upon this corner of the internet—I want you to feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
Since you're new around here, I thought I’d share a little bit about myself so you can get to know the person behind the posts, the coaching sessions, and the singing birthday messages (more on that in a second). Here are 20 facts about little ol' me:
1) I’m that friend who sends a singing Marco Polo on your birthday. 🎤🎉
It’s a thing. Prepare your ears.
2) My husband calls me the most chill person he’s ever met.
Joke’s on him—my ADHD brain is in constant motion.
3) I don’t understand football. At all.
I’ve tried. I just... don’t get it.
4) I was a teacher for almost 20 years.
World Language fam, represent! ¡Español, mij@s!
5) I’m almost always barefoot—even in winter.
Yes, my feet are basically immune to cold now.
6) I hiked the Camino de Santiago solo.
A once-in-a-lifetime experience that changed me forever.
7) One of my dearest friends is 40 years older than me.
I believe deeply in friendships across generations.
8) I rarely straighten my hair.
Natural, wild curls FTW.
9) I speak Spanish with my 5-year-old daughter.
Language is love in our household.
10) I listen to podcasts while lifting weights.

Every resume I write matters deeply to me.
12) I’ve lived in both Mexico and Spain.
Soy latina de corazĂłn.
13) I’m a homebody and a super empath.
I feel everything. Deeply. And I love being cozy.
14) I believe there’s nothing better than clean sheets.
Simple pleasures.
15) I graduated high school and college early.
Yep. Nerd alert. đź“š
16) We have two Dachshunds—Gia and Daddy.
Yes, Daddy is his real name. Long story.
17) I like routine—but I need a little spice.
Structure + spontaneity = balance.
18) I can drive a stick shift like a boss.
Thanks to my high school bestie. (Hey, Heidi!)
19) I believe in miracles.
Always.
20) Helping people pivot careers, land dream roles, and claim better pay + peace lights me up!
Seriously, it fills my cup every single day.
So, that’s a glimpse into who I am.
Now it’s your turn—
đź’¬ What do we have in common?
đź’« Or even better: What makes you uniquely you?
I’d love to know. ❤️
