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.

Shout-out to @beautifulanonymous and @pleasedonttellanyone—my current favorites!

11) I still get butterflies when sending out a client’s first draft.

Every resume I write matters deeply to me.

12) I’ve lived in both Mexico and Spain.

Soy latina de corazón.

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. 📚

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—
💬 What do we have in common?
💫 Or even better: What makes you uniquely you?

I’d love to know. ❤️
