Services
I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. Whether you need a full communications overhaul or a targeted campaign, I bring the same level of care to every engagement.
Internal Communications
Most organizations underestimate how much their internal voice matters. I help you build one worth listening to—from change management messaging to cross-functional intranet ecosystems.
Learning & Development
Training design and facilitation that actually sticks. Built on adult learning principles and delivered seamlessly in English and Spanish.
Public Relations & Campaigns
High-stakes public education, crisis comms, and media relations. I help you say the right thing at the right time without losing your voice (e.g., statewide public health rollouts like Vaccinate ALL 58 and Save Our Water).
Branding & Design
Visual identity and marketing collateral that communicate clearly and look like they mean business.

From El Salvador to statewide change
I started my career leading international market expansion and B2B strategy for SEDCOI in Central America. When I brought that background to California, I didn't just join organizations—I scaled how they operated.
As an Organizational and Talent Development specialist for the County of Santa Barbara, I overhauled internal comms for 4,700+ employees and ran an innovation academy that generated over $443,000 in cost savings. From there, I stepped into statewide public health campaigns, translating technical mandates into culturally competent messaging for communities across California.
I hold a Black Belt in Process Improvement, a Cornell PR Strategy Certificate, and an ATD Adult Learning Certificate. I bring executive-level rigor wrapped in human-first storytelling.
