Are you at a crossroads — unsure which career path fits you, which degree to pursue, or what comes next after a major life change? That uncertainty is exactly where I do my best work. I help students, adults, and professionals in transition move from confusion and overwhelm to clarity, direction, and a concrete plan that fits who they actually are.
I hold a Master of Arts from the University of Miami and a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Florida International University, along with certifications as a Highlands Ability Battery® Consultant and Strong Interest Inventory® Practitioner — two of the most validated career and ability assessment tools used by universities and organizations worldwide. Combined with my credentials as a Professional Coach, Career Coach, and Executive Leadership Coach through the World Coach Institute, I bring both objective assessment data and practical coaching experience to every session. My approach is not guesswork — it is grounded in your actual abilities, interests, and goals.
Over 15 years as a certified educator in public and charter schools, I worked directly with first-generation students, multilingual families, and adults navigating complex academic and career decisions. I have guided students through college readiness, career exploration, and long-term educational planning in both one-on-one and group settings. I speak English and Spanish, which allows me to serve diverse multilingual communities and professionals seeking career direction with complete fluency and cultural understanding.
My signature offering is the Transition Clarity Session — a focused coaching experience using the Highlands Ability Battery® and Strong Interest Inventory® to identify your natural strengths, clarify your direction, and build your next steps. Whether you are a student choosing a major, a professional changing careers, or an adult returning to education, I provide the structure, the tools, and the honest guidance to help you move forward with confidence.
