The Mission

I am on a mission to help people increase their confidence, develop mental strength and live an empowered life by using the power of their voice. 

Growing up as a modern nomad, I was constantly introduced as the “new girl”. As I attempted to adapt to every new environment, this impacted my ability to embrace the essence of who I am. I realized that my power does not lie in my ability to change my persona depending on my location, but rather, staying authentic, having an open mind and standing proud within my differences no matter what room I walked into. It takes confidence in who you are, mental strength and effective communication skills to build meaningful relationships and make a powerful impression everywhere you go. And now, I want to use my gifts to help others, too.

Making a Difference

As a professional and bilingual Emcee (MC), I elevate experiences through my enthusiastic personality and elegant persona to drive audience engagement and interaction that make your events - unforgettable. I make guests and presenters feel seen, heard and recognized as I lift the mission of the organization I work with.

I have also spoken on various stages as a coach, a keynote speaker, a spoken word performer or a mentor. From doing confidence and public speaking workshops for non profits like Wonder Girls, speaking about the power of personal branding for Fortune 500 companies like KPMG, or motivating students at Rutgers University, I have helped hundreds of people to improve their interpersonal and public speaking skills to leave powerful impressions wherever they go.

I believe you should let your voice be a force to be reckoned with that impacts others for the better. I developed a course called ‘Articulate Mind, Confident speaker’ because I want to help people like you to learn the skills necessary to use your voice with purpose while elevating your stories and expertise.

  • Born in Peru, I was exposed from a young age to a multicultural community, which sparked my curiousity for the world and built my vibrant spirit. As native Spanish speaker, I learned the value of sharing stories, connecting deeply with others and embracing my creativity.

  • At the age of 13, my life took a thrilling twist when I made the leap to the United States with my mother. This exciting but nerve-wracking chapter was filled with new beginnings, new friends, and a new language—English! It was here where I laid the foundation for my future. These experiences redefined how I view the world and taught me the importance of taking responsibility for my actions in order to create the life that I desire.

  • I graduated from Monmouth University in 2019 with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and a concentration in Accounting. I completed a semester abroad at Regent’s University in London, UK in 2017.

After graduation, I began my career as an Asset Management Auditor at KPMG and became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). I then transitioned to a Global Sales Consultant to expand my expertise and international footprint. This experience allowed me to collaborate with people from all over the globe, develop excellent intercultural awareness and gain deep expertise in the financial services sector.

  • My experience with stages began with my participation in Miss Peruvian Parade 2016, where I was crowned Queen. I also participated in Miss Gran Latina USA in 2018, where I received second place. I have received extensive training on stage presence, how to present myself in a polished and professional manner, how to control my body language and exude confidence, and how to overcome stage fright.

  • I recently moved to Nashville, TN from a 10-year journey in New Jersey. I stand as a beacon of inspiration in the world of public speaking and podcasting. My mission is to empower individuals worldwide to confidently share their unique stories and embrace their authentic selves. With my transforming coaching and engaging podcast, I will continue to illuminate the path to effective communication and greater joy.
